3. Initiating a Reboot Cycle: From the Plug Control Menu, click the down arrow

in the "Action" column for the desired outlet(s), then select "Reboot" from the
dropdown menu and click on the "Confirm Plug Actions" button.

4. Switching Outlets Off: From the Plug Control Menu, click the down arrow in the

"Action" column for the desired outlet(s), then select "Off" from the dropdown menu
and click on the "Confirm Plug Actions" button.

5. Switching Outlets On: From the Plug Control Menu, click the down arrow in the

"Action" column for the desired outlet(s), then select "On" from the dropdown menu
and click on the "Confirm Plug Actions" button.

6. Set Outlets to Default On/Off Status: From the Plug Control Menu, click the down

arrow in the "Action" column for the desired outlet(s), then select "Default" from the
dropdown menu and click on the "Confirm Plug Actions" button..

When the "Confirm Plug Actions" button is pressed, the MPC will display a screen which
lists the selected action(s) and asks for confirmation before proceeding. To implement
the selected plug action(s), click on the "Execute Plug Actions" button. The MPC will
display a screen which indicates that a switching operation is in progress, then display
the Plug Status screen when the command is complete. At that time, the Status Screen
will list the updated On/Off status of each plug.

9.1.2. The Plug Group Control Screen - Web Browser Interface
The Plug Group Control Screen is used to send switching and reboot commands to
the user-defined Plug Groups. As described in Section 5.6, Plug Groups allow you to
specify a group of outlets that are dedicated to a similar purpose or client, and then
direct switching and reboot commands to the group, rather than switching one plug
at a time.

To invoke On, Off, or Reboot commands, proceed as follows:

1. Access the MPC Command Mode as described in Section 5.1.

2. Click on the "Plug Group Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to display

the Plug Group Control Screen.

Notes:

• When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence Delay

times will be applied as described in Section 5.7.

• If a switching or reboot command is directed to a plug that is already in the

process of being switched or rebooted by a previous command, then the
new command will be placed in a queue until the plug is ready to receive
additional commands.

• When the Plug Group Control Screen is displayed by an account that permits

Administrator or SuperUser level commands, all user-defined Plug Groups
will be displayed.

• When the Plug Control Screen is displayed by a User level account, the

screen will only include the Plug Groups that are specifically allowed for
that account.
