Operation
9.1.2. The Circuit Group Control Screen - Web Browser Interface
The Circuit Group Control Screen is used to send switching and reboot commands to
the user-defined Circuit Groups. As described in Section 5.6, Circuit Groups allow you
to specify a group of circuits that are dedicated to a similar purpose or client, and then
direct switching commands to the group, rather than switching one circuit at a time.
To apply power switching commands to Circuit Groups, first access the RPC Command
Mode (see Section 5.1.) Click on the "Circuit Group Control" link on the left hand side of
the screen to display the Circuit Group Control Screen. When the Circuit Group Control
Screen appears, click the down arrow in the "Action" column for the desired Circuit
Group(s), then select the desired switching option from the dropdown menu and click
on the "Confirm Circuit Actions" button
When the "Confirm Circuit Group Actions" button is pressed, the RPC will display a
screen which lists the selected action(s) and asks for confirmation before proceeding.
To implement the selected circuit group action(s), click on the "Execute Circuit Group
Actions" button. The RPC will display a screen which indicates that a switching
operation is in progress, then display the Circuit Status screen when the command is
complete. At that time, the Status Screen will list the updated On/Off status of each
circuit.
Notes:
• When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence Delay
times will be applied as described in Section 5.7.
• If a switching or reboot command is directed to a circuit that is already in the
process of being switched or rebooted by a previous command, then the
new command will be placed in a queue until the circuit is ready to receive
additional commands.
• When the Circuit Group Control Screen is displayed by an account that
permits Administrator or SuperUser level commands, all user-defined Circuit
Groups will be displayed.
• When the Circuit Control Screen is displayed by a User level account, the
screen will only include the Circuit Groups that are specifically allowed for
that account.
