7. Disconnect Timeout: Determines how long the NPS-2HD

will wait for additional commands. Type 7, press [Enter],

and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default

determined by Option Switch 4; Factory Setting = 2 Min.).
Note: It is recommended that the Disconnect

Timeout should be set at the lowest acceptable

value. Since only one port is allowed to access the

command mode at a given time, shorter timeout

values will decrease the chance of other users being

shut out of command mode if a user fails to

disconnect when finished communicating with

the unit.

8. Command Confirmation: When enabled, the NPS-2HD

will display a "Sure?" prompt before completing the /T, /X,

/R, /BOOT, /ON, /OFF, /D and "A" commands, and will

also display the System Status screen after commands are

successfully completed. When disabled, the "Sure?"

prompt is suppressed, and the Status Screen is not sent

when commands are complete. (Default = Enabled).

9. Automated Mode: When enabled, the NPS will execute

the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /D, and /X commands without

displaying the confirmation prompt, status screen, or

confirmation messages. This allows the NPS to be

controlled by a device that generates commands to control

power switching without human interaction. For more

information, please refer to Section 6.5. (Default = Off).
Note: When this option is enabled, NPS password

security functions are disabled, and users are able to

access System Level menus and control both plugs

without entering a password.

10. Button Mode: Enables/disables the manual plug control

buttons on the NPS-2HD front panel. When enabled, the

NPS's two switched plugs can be toggled On and Off by

pressing and holding the manual control button for

approximately one second. When disabled, the manual

control buttons will have no effect. (Default = On).
