Western Telematic IPS-15 - Manual (Page 42)

6.3. Operation via the Text Interface
When using the Text Interface, all switching functions are performed
by invoking simple, ASCII commands. ASCII commands are also
used to display status screens and to log out of command mode. The
Text Interface also includes a Help Menu, which summarizes all
available IPS-15 commands. To display the Text Interface Help
Menu (Figure 6.3), type /H and press [Enter].
6.3.1. The Plug Status Screen - Text Interface
When you log in to the IPS command mode using the Text Interface,
the first screen that is displayed after login is the Plug Status Screen.
The Plug Status Screen (Figure 6.2) lists the current status of the
IPS's Switched Outlet(s) and displays the firmware version and
currently defined Site I.D. Message.
Normally, the Plug Status Screen will also be redisplayed every time
that a command is successfully executed. Note however, that if the
Automated Mode is enabled (See Section 6.5), the Plug Status
Screen will not be redisplayed after each command is executed.
6.3.2. Boot/On/Off Commands - Text Interface
These commands are used to Boot or toggle the On/Off status of the
IPS's switched plug(s). Plugs may be specified by name or number.
Notes:
· Wait for the "IPS>" prompt to appear before entering
commands. The prompt will not reappear until the
previous command is complete.
· Commands are not case sensitive. All commands are
invoked by pressing [Enter].
· If command confirmation is enabled, the IPS will
display the Status Screen after the Boot/On/Off
commands are successfully completed.
