• Inactivity Timeout: Determines how long the RPS will wait for
additional commands during periods of inactivity. When the Timeout
Period elapses, the user will be disconnected from the RPS command
mode. (Default = 2 Minutes.)
• Command Confirmation: When enabled, the RPS will display a
confirmation prompt before executing certain commands. When
disabled, the prompt will be suppressed and commands will be executed
immediately. (Default = On/Enabled.)
• Automated Mode: When enabled, the RPS will execute switching,
reboot and exit commands without displaying a confirmation prompt,
status screen or confirmation messages. This allows the RPS to be
controlled by a device that generates commands to control switching
without human intervention. For more information, please refer to
Section 6.4. (Default = Off.)
Note: When this option is enabled, security functions are
suppressed, and users are able to access System Level menus and
control plugs 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 5.3.4.1) to restrict access.
• Manual Switch Button: Enables and configures the manual plug control
button. (Default = "On".)
▪ Off: Disables the manual switch button.
▪ On: Enables the manual switch button. When the manual switch
button is pressed and held for approximately three seconds, all
sixteen outlets will be effected.
• Default Parameters: Resets the RPS to default parameters. All menu
selected parameters, including port names and passwords, will be cleared.
This option is only available via the Text Interface.
Note: If this function is invoked via the Network Port, the IP
Address will not be reset until you break your connection to the
Network Port. If this function is invoked via the Console Port, the
IP Address will be reset immediately.
