Command Reference Guide

17.3.2. Control Commands

/X

Exit Command Mode

Exits command mode. When issued at the Network Port, also ends the Telnet session.

Note: If the /X command is invoked from within a configuration menu, recently
defined parameters may not be saved. In order to make certain that parameters
are saved, always press the

[Esc] key to exit from all configuration menus and

then wait until "Saving Configuration" message has been displayed and the
cursor has returned to the command prompt before issuing the /X command.

Availability: Administrator, SuperUser, User, ViewOnly
Format:

/X [Enter]

/BOOT Initiate Boot Cycle

Initiates a boot cycle at the selected plug(s) or Plug Group(s). When a Boot cycle is
performed, the MPC will first switch the selected plug(s) Off, then pause for the user-
defined Boot/Sequence Delay Period, then switch the plug(s) back on. The /BOOT
command can also be entered as /BO.

Note: When this command is invoked in Administrator Mode or SuperUser
Mode, it can be applied to all MPC plugs and Plug Groups. When this
command is invoked in User Mode, it can only be applied to the plugs and/or
Plug Groups that have been enabled for the account.

Availability: Administrator, SuperUser, User
Format:

/BOOT [aux] <n>[,Y] [Enter] or /BO [aux] <n> [Enter]

Where:

aux

If you are directing the command to an outlet on an attached AUX/Remote

MPC unit, then the

aux argument must be included in the command line

in order to route the command to the appropriate MPC unit. If your local

MPC unit is not connected to AUX/Remote MPC units, then there is no

need to include this argument in the command line.

n

The number or name of the plug(s) or Plug Group(s) that you intend to

boot. To apply the command to several plugs, enter a plus sign (+)

between each plug number. To apply the command to a range of plugs,

enter the numbers for the first and last plugs in the range, separated by a

colon character (:). To apply the command to all plugs allowed by your

account, enter an asterisk character (*).

,Y

(Optional) Suppresses the command confirmation prompt.

Examples:
Assume that your account allows access to Plug A2 and Plug A3. To initiate a boot
cycle at Plugs A2 and A3, without displaying the optional command confirmation
prompt, invoke either of the following command lines:

/BOOT A2+A3,Y [Enter] or /BO A2+A3,Y [Enter]

To direct the /BOOT command to plug B4 on an AUX/Remote MPC unit connected to
the AUX2 port on your local MPC unit, invoke either of the following command lines:

/BOOT aux2 B4 [Enter] or /BO aux2 B4 [Enter]
