Western Telematic NPS-2HD Switch User Manual


 
7. Disconnect Timeout: Determines how long the NPS-2HD
will wait for additional commands. Type 7, press [Enter],
and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default
determined by Option Switch 4; Factory Setting = 2 Min.).
Note: It is recommended that the Disconnect
Timeout should be set at the lowest acceptable
value. Since only one port is allowed to access the
command mode at a given time, shorter timeout
values will decrease the chance of other users being
shut out of command mode if a user fails to
disconnect when finished communicating with
the unit.
8. Command Confirmation: When enabled, the NPS-2HD
will display a "Sure?" prompt before completing the /T, /X,
/R, /BOOT, /ON, /OFF, /D and "A" commands, and will
also display the System Status screen after commands are
successfully completed. When disabled, the "Sure?"
prompt is suppressed, and the Status Screen is not sent
when commands are complete. (Default = Enabled).
9. Automated Mode: When enabled, the NPS will execute
the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /D, and /X commands without
displaying the confirmation prompt, status screen, or
confirmation messages. This allows the NPS to be
controlled by a device that generates commands to control
power switching without human interaction. For more
information, please refer to Section 6.5. (Default = Off).
Note: When this option is enabled, NPS password
security functions are disabled, and users are able to
access System Level menus and control both plugs
without entering a password.
10. Button Mode: Enables/disables the manual plug control
buttons on the NPS-2HD front panel. When enabled, the
NPS's two switched plugs can be toggled On and Off by
pressing and holding the manual control button for
approximately one second. When disabled, the manual
control buttons will have no effect. (Default = On).
