Global Commands
For configurations using multiple PDU 4/4 chassis, many commands will accept a box ID of zero (0) to
generate a Global Command that will execute the desired operation in all connected boxes.
Global commands include 0 (zero) to operate all connected PDU 4/4
box ID’s, and ALL or all for all port IDs within a
chassis or a number of cascaded chassis.

help - Help Menu
Typing help from the command line will access the HELP menu, which reviews the programming parameters for the
PDU 4/4 system.
Typing
help ‘command name’ will give specific information for each command.
Exit / Quit
The Exit Command logs off the user and returns a Session Ended message. You will be immediately logged off of
the system. The System will automatically timeout and log off after 5 minutes of idle time (no terminal activity).
Note: Logging In starts a Timer that will automatically log off the current user if no activity is detected
for 5 minutes. In this case, the user will see Session Timed Out.
Buttons - Front Panel Button Enable/Disable
The Front Panel Buttons can be disabled to prevent unauthorized control of the outputs of the PDU 4/4. The LED
indicators will continue to operate, solid green LED for ON and no indicator for OFF. If buttons are enabled, selecting
on/off from the front panel will turn that outlet on or off immediately.
