Schedule Outlet Actions
Actions you can schedule
To configure values for Power On Delay, Power Off Delay, and Reboot Duration for each outlet, see
“Configure outlet settings and the outlet name” on page 68. Although you must use the Web interface to
schedule outlet actions, you can set these values in either the Web or command line interfaces.
For any outlets you select, you can schedule any of the actions listed in the following table to occur
daily; at intervals of one, two, four, or eight weeks; or only once.
Schedule an outlet event
1. At the Web interface, select the Device Manager tab and then Scheduling from the left
navigation menu.
2. On the Outlet Scheduling page, select how often the event will occur (One-Time, Daily, or
Weekly), and click the Next button.
Note: If you select Weekly, you can choose to have the event occur once every week or once
every two, four, or eight weeks.
3. On the Schedule a Daily Action page, in the Name of event text box, replace the default name,
Outlet Event, with a name that will identify your new event.
4. Use the drop-down lists to select the type of event and when it will occur.
The date format for one-time events is mm/dd, and the time format for all events is hh/mm, with
the two-digit hour specified in 24-hour time.
– An event that is scheduled daily or at one of the intervals available in the Weekly selection
continues to occur at the scheduled interval until the event is deleted or disabled.
– You can schedule a one-time event to occur only on a date within 12 months of the date on
which you perform the scheduling. For example, on December 26, 2011, you could schedule a
one-time event on any date from the current date until December 26, 2012.
5. Use the checkboxes to select which outlets will be affected by the action. You can select one or
more individual outlets or All Outlets.
6. Click Apply to confirm the scheduling of the event, or Cancel to clear it.
When you confirm the event, the summary page is re-displayed, with the new event displayed in the list
of scheduled events.
