Operations
Interfaces
The Sentry has two interfaces: the HTML interface accessed via the HTTP enabled Ethernet
connections and the command line for serial and Telnet connections.
Outlet Naming and Grouping
For commands requiring an outlet name, you may specify it in one of two ways: a predefined absolute
name or a descriptive name assigned by an administrator.
Absolute names are specified by a period (.) followed by the tower letter, the infeed letter and outlet
number.
Example: The absolute name for outlet 8 on the B infeed of tower A is .AB8.
Outlets may also be included in one or more named groups of outlets, enabling you to issue a command
that affects all outlets in a named group.
Usernames and Passwords
The Sentry has one predefined administrative user account (username/password: admn/admn) and
supports a maximum of 128 defined user accounts
NOTE: For security, Server Technology recommends removal of the predefined administrative user account after a new
account with administrative rights has been created.
Only an administrative-level user may perform operations such as creating/removing user accounts and
command privileges, changing passwords and displaying outlet and user information. An administrator
may also view the status of and control power to all outlets.
The administrator may create additional user accounts and then grant these users the right to view the
status of and control power to specific outlets, groups and ports.
Usernames may contain from 1-16 characters and are not case sensitive; spaces are not allowed.
Passwords may contain up to 16 characters, and are case sensitive.
