Basic Configuration
5.3.5. Scripting Options
The Scripting Options submenu provides access to parameters that are used to set up
the RPC unit for running various scripts.
Notes:
• To access Scripting Options parameters via the Text Interface, first type /F
and press [Enter]to display the System Parameters Menu, then key in the
number for the Scripting Options item and press [Enter].
• To access the Scripting Options parameters via the Web Browser Interface,
place the cursor over the "General Parameters" link, wait for the flyout menu
to appear, then click on the "Scripting Options" link.
The Scripting Options menu allows the following parameters to be defined:
• CommandConfirmation: Enables/Disables the Command Confirmation feature.
When enabled, a "Sure" prompt will be displayed before power switching and
reboot commands are executed. When disabled, commands will be executed
without further prompting. (Default = On.)
• AutomatedMode: When enabled, the RPC will execute switching and reboot
commands without displaying a confirmation prompt, status screen or confirmation
messages. For more information, please refer to Section 5.3.5.1 or Section 9.3.
(Default = Off.)
Note: When the Automated Mode is enabled, security functions are
suppressed, and users are able to access configuration menus and control
circuits without entering a password. If security is a concern and the
Automated Mode is required, it is recommended to use the IP Security feature
(Section 5.9.3) to restrict access.
• CommandPrompt: Allows the Text Interface command prompt to be set to either
MPC, IPS, NPS, NBB, VMR, CCM or RPC. (Default = RPC.)
• IPSMode: This parameter sets up the RPC for use with command scripts that
were written for WTI's IPS Series Remote Reboot Switches. When the IPS Mode
is enabled, the "IPS" command prompt will be displayed in the Text Mode, User
Accounts will not allow definition of a Username, and only the "password" prompt
will be displayed when logging into the unit (IPS Mode units will not display a
"username" prompt.) (Default = Off.)
• The "IPS" command prompt will be displayed in the Text Mode.
• Providing that no Administrator level user accounts are defined, the RPC will not
display the username or password prompts upon login to
command mode.
• If one or more Administrator level user accounts have been defined, then the
RPC will only display the password prompt upon login to command mode. If all
Administrator level user accounts (aside from the default "super" account) are
deleted, then the RPC will return to the status where no username or password
prompts are displayed upon login to command mode.
