Access -> IPDU -> Outlets Manager Screen
Both regular users who are authorized for IPDU power management and administrative users can do the following for any of the listed outlets:
The Name that appears on the screen is either the default “s1,” which is the port number of the AUX port; or an administrator-specified name. A yellow bulb indicates that the outlet’s power is on. A gray bulb indicates that the outlet’s power is off. An open padlock indicates that the outlet is unlocked. A closed padlock indicates that the outlet is locked. An orange “Cycle” button is active next to each outlet that is on; the “Cycle” button is grayed when the outlet is off. The “Save outlets state” button allows the user to save any changes made on this screen.
In the example below, all outlets are switched on except outlet 8, outlets 1 and 2 are locked and outlets 3 through 8 are unlocked.
