Function 07: SPCN functions

This function allows you to perform a system power control network (SPCN) operation.

This function is available only in the manual operating mode and from power on standby.

Notes:
  • The system that will display the ID must be powered off with ac power applied.
  • If you have just restored power to the system, the service processor must return to standby mode before the control panel functions will work correctly. Returning the service processor to standby mode takes a few minutes after the panel appears to be operational.
  • The control panel must be in manual operating mode to access function 07 options.
To perform an SPCN operation that is controlled by function 07, do the following:
  1. Select function 07, and then press Enter. 07** is displayed.
  2. Select the function that you want to perform (see Table 1). Use the Increment or Decrement buttons (↑↓) to scroll to the appropriate function. Press Enter to display 07nn00, where nn is the function that you selected.
