Avocent ACS 5000 Server User Manual


 
Specify groups of outlets using the following format:
IPDU_ID[outlets]
Where IPDU_ID is the name configured for the IPDU (such as ilA) and outlets are numbers
separated with commas or with dashes (to indicate a range), as in the following example:
ilA[1,2,5-15]
You can assign outlets from more than one IPDU to a group by using commas to separate them.
The following example defines an outlet group for two IPDUs, one named ilA and the other
ilB:
ilA[1,5-8],ilB[1,3,4]
For more information, see Conventions used to identify outlets on page 11. See also

between each IPDU.
