RPS Series: Remote Power Switches - User's Guide
The General Parameters Menu allows the following parameters to be defined.
• System Password: The RPS will display a password prompt when you
attempt to access command mode. When the System Password is entered
at log on, the System Mode will be active, allowing access to both
switching functions and configuration menus. (16 Characters,
Default = undefined.)
Notes:
• If the System Password is not defined, then the RPS will start
up in System Mode, and configuration functions will then be
available to anyone who accesses Command Mode.
• Passwords and User Names cannot contain nonprintable
characters, spaces, colons ( :), plus signs (+) or
quotation marks.
• User Name: (Optional) The User Name allows you to set up an
additional layer of security for web access to the command mode by
requiring that users correctly enter a name in addition to a password.
Note that the User Name is only required when the unit is accessed via
the Web Interface. (16 Characters, Default = undefined.)
Notes:
• If a User Name is defined, then users who log in with a Plug
Password (User Mode) will also need to enter this same User
Name at the login prompt when attempting to access command
mode via the Web Browser Interface.
• The User Name cannot begin with a forward slash ( /) or
backslash ( \) character, and cannot include non-printable
characters, space characters, asterisks ( *) or quotation marks.
• Site ID: Defines a brief text message, which can be used to describe the
location of the RPS unit. (Up to 32 characters, Default = undefined.)
Note: The Site ID Message cannot begin with a forward slash
( /) or backslash (\)character and cannot include non-printable
characters or quotation marks.
• Command Echo: Enables/Disables command echo. When enabled,
ASCII commands sent via the Text Interface to the RPS will be echoed
back, allowing keystrokes to be displayed. Note that this feature applies
primarily to the text interface, and has no visible effect on the Web
Browser Interface. (Default = On.)
