Outlet entry conventions
In the most basic case, only the IPDU’s ID and the outlets named in brackets following the ID
are needed to specify which outlets will be accessible by the user. It is sometimes desirable to
have more control over outlet groups, daisy-chained IPDUs or which serial port on the console
server must be used for the permissions to be valid. The following table shows the prefix, suffix
and syntax information used to specify outlets in various circumstances.
