Basic Configuration

5.3.5.1. AutomatedMode

The Automated Mode allows the TSM/RSM to execute switching and reboot commands,

without displaying menus or generating response messages. Automated Mode is

designed to allow the TSM/RSM to be controlled by a device which can generate

commands to control power switching functions without human intervention.

When Automated Mode is enabled, power switching and reboot commands are

executed without a confirmation prompt and without command response messages;

the only reply to these commands is the command prompt, which is re-displayed when

each command is completed.

Although Automated Mode can be enabled using either the Web Browser Interface or

Text Interface, Automated Mode is designed primarily for users who wish to send ASCII

commands to the TSM/RSM without operator intervention, and therefore does not

specifically apply to the Web Browser Interface. When Automated Mode is enabled, the

Web Browser Interface can still be used to invoke switching and reboot commands.

To enable/disable the Automated Mode, go to the System Parameters menu (see

Section 5.3,) and then set the “Automated Mode” option to “On”. When Automated

Mode is enabled, TSM/RSM functions will change as follows:

1. AllPasswordSecuritySuppressed: When a user attempts to access command

mode, the password prompt will not be displayed at either the Setup Port or

Network Port. Unless specifically restricted by the IP Security Function, all users

will be allowed to access command mode, and all commands will be immediately

accepted without the requirement to enter a password.

2. StatusScreenSuppressed: The plug status screen will not be automatically

displayed after commands are successfully executed. Note however, that the /S

command can still be invoked to display the status screen as needed.

3. “Sure?”PromptSuppressed: All commands are executed without prompting for

user confirmation.

4. ErrorMessagesSuppressed: Most error messages will be suppressed. Note

however, that an error message will still be generated if commands are invoked

using invalid formats or arguments.

All other status display and configuration commands will still function as normal.
