Applying Commands to Several Plugs -
Text Interface

As described below, Boot/On/Off commands can be applied to only

the switched outlet on the IPS Master Unit, or to an assortment of

plugs on the Master Unit and linked Satellite Units.

Note: When commands are applied to several plugs,

the IPS will delay for approximately one (1) second

between switching actions. For example, when

switching Plugs One and Two On, the IPS will switch

Plug 1 On, delay one second, then switch Plug 2 On.

1. Several Plugs: To apply an On / Off / Boot command to

several plugs or zones, enter the numbers or names for the

plugs, separated by a "plus sign" (+). For example to switch

plugs 1, 4, and 5 Off, enter the following:

/OFF 1+4+5 [Enter]

2. Series of Plugs: To apply a command to a series of IPS

Plugs or "zones", enter the number for the plugs that mark the

beginning and end of the series, separated by a colon. For

example, to switch plugs 1 through 3 On, enter the following:

/ON 1:3 [Enter]

4. All Plugs: To apply a command to all plugs (the IPS Master

Unit plus each connected Satellite Unit), enter an asterisk in

place of the name or number. For example, to Boot the

Master Unit Plug, and all plugs on connected satellite units,

enter the following:

/BO * [Enter]

6.4. Logging Out of Command Mode

When you are finished communicating with the IPS, it is important

to always disconnect using either the "Log Out" button (Web

Browser Interface) or /X command (Text Interface), rather than

simply closing your browser window or communications program.

When you disconnect using the Log Out button or /X command, this

ensures that the IPS has completely exited from command mode, and

is not waiting for the inactivity timeout period to elapse before

allowing additional connections. This ensures that IPS unit will be

available to other users, and they will not have to wait for the

timeout period to elapse before accessing the IPS Command Mode.
