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.

that the user specified has permission to control that group of outlets.
!ttyS

Serial port
!ttyS2 would specify serial port 2 on the console server would be the
only one the user would have permissions to use for IPDU management,
regardless of the IPDU or outlets specified.

daisy-chain
!ttyS2-B[1-8] would indicate that serial port 2 on the console server
would be used to control the second IPDU in the chain (B), followed by
the outlet or range of outlets on that IPDU with user permissions.
NOTE: Daisy-chained IPDUs (A, B, C, etc.) create sequentially numbered outlets across IPDUs.
The following figure shows two daisy-chained (master/slave) IPDUs connected to serial port 2
on the console server.
