6.7. Manual Operation

In addition to the command driven functions, the NPS's two

switched plugs can also be toggled On and Off manually. To

manually toggle a plug On or Off, press the appropriate Manual

Control Button, and hold it down for approximately one second;

the corresponding plug will be toggled On or Off. Note that if

desired, the Manual Control Buttons can also be disabled via the

General Parameters menu as described in Section 5.4.

6.8. Operating Tips

When connecting to the NPS-2HD via network, modem or

console port, the following factors should be kept in mind:

1. One Connection at a Time: Only one port can access the

command mode at a time. Therefore, it is recommended

that users should always disconnect using the /X command

when finished communicating with the unit. When a

command port is busy, the NPS-2HD will react as follows:
a) Network Port Busy: If a second user attempts to

connect via the Modem Port, the NPS will send a busy

message. If a second user attempts to connect via the

Console Port, the port will not wake.

b) Modem Port Busy: If a second user attempts to

connect via the Network Port, the connection will be

refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the

Console Port, the port will not wake.

c) Console Port Busy: If a second user attempts to

connect via the Network Port, the connection will be

refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the

Modem Port, the Console Port will disconnect and the

Modem Port will be granted access; the Modem Port

has priority over the Console Port.

2. Ping Packet Size: The NPS will not accept Ping Packets

larger than approximately 1000 bytes.

If you have any questions regarding configuration or operation of

the NPS, please contact WTI Technical Support as described in

Appendix C.
