Link the Controls of Two Receptacles
Two receptacles may be linked for simultaneous control. The receptacles may be on the same power
strip or on two different power strips. When two receptacles are linked, the Connections column dis-
plays the link as x:y, where x is the OpenComms EM serial port number (1 or 2) and y is the number
of the linked receptacle. In the example below, receptacles 4 and 7 on serial port 1 are linked, shown
in the Connections column as 1:7 and 1:4.
Once linked, both receptacles will be turned on, off or rebooted at the same time when you click on the
On, Off or Reboot button for either receptacle in the Power Data window, shown below.
