9.1.2. The Plug Group Control Screen - Web Browser Interface
The Plug Group Control Screen is used to send switching and reboot commands to
the user-defined Plug Groups. As described in Section 5.6, Plug Groups allow you to
specify a group of outlets that are dedicated to a similar purpose or client, and then
direct switching and reboot commands to the group, rather than switching one plug
at a time.
To invoke On, Off, or Reboot commands, proceed as follows:
1. Access the MPC Command Mode as described in Section 5.1.
2. Click on the "Plug Group Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to display
the Plug Group Control Screen.
Notes:
When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence Delay
times will be applied as described in Section 5.7.
If a switching or reboot command is directed to a plug that is already in the
process of being switched or rebooted by a previous command, then the
new command will be placed in a queue until the plug is ready to receive
additional commands.
When the Plug Group Control Screen is displayed by an account that permits
Administrator or SuperUser level commands, all user-defined Plug Groups
will be displayed.
When the Plug Control Screen is displayed by a User level account, the
screen will only include the Plug Groups that are specifically allowed for
that account.
