# CLI Examples

The following examples were run on model: SynLink SP-1001AIE-01

## Switching Outlets On or Off

Switch outlets on with command: `system outlets set outlet_state` to be prompted for outlet index, and outlet state.

Outlet state **`RB`** will power cycle PDU. Power cycle time is based off of global reboot time or custom reboot time for an individual outlet.

```shell
SynLink> system outlets set outlet_state
--------------------------------------------------
 Index | Outlet ID     | Name            | State 
--------------------------------------------------
 1     | 1-16777225    | Outlet 1        | ON
 2     | 2-16777225    | Outlet 2        | ON
 3     | 3-16777225    | Outlet 3        | ON
 4     | 4-16777225    | Outlet 4        | ON
 5     | 5-16777225    | Outlet 5        | ON
 6     | 6-16777225    | Outlet 6        | ON
 7     | 7-16777225    | Outlet 7        | ON
 8     | 8-16777225    | Outlet 8        | ON

Outlet ID or Outlet Index: 4
ON, OFF, or RB: OFF
Successfully switched outlet
```

or

Switch outlets with command `system outlets set outlet_state 4-16777225 OFF` without interactive prompts. Requires knowing outlet ID ahead of time. Find outlet ID's ahead of time by issuing command `system outlets status`. This command is better for scripting then the previous command.

```shell
SynLink> system outlets set outlet_state 4-16777225 OFF
Successfully switched outlet
```

## Setting Static IP to a Specific IP

The following examples shows a SynLink PDU being set to 192.168.1.200. It is assumed this PDU is already configured to use static IPs (`ip_assign` = `static_ip`).

```shell
SynLink> network ip set static_ip 192.168.1.200
Restarting network to apply changes...
Successfully restarted Network

Network Settings
-----------------
IP Address Assignment:  Static
-------------------
Static IP Address:      192.168.1.200
Static Gateway IP:      192.168.1.1
Static Subnet Mask:     255.255.255.0
Primary DNS IP:         8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS IP:       8.8.4.4
-------------------
Mac Address: 3A:D2:21:D3:82:45
```

## Changing default Static IP to DHCP

```shell
SynLink> network ip set ip_assign dhcp
Restarting network to apply changes...
refreshing resolve.conf

Network Settings
-----------------
IP Address Assignment:  DHCP
DHCP Assigned IP:       192.168.1.146
Mac Address: 3A:D2:21:D3:82:45


```

## Get Inlet Power Consumption Information

Get inlet power consumption information in human readable format:

```shell
SynLink> system inlets status
-----------------
Inlet Information
-----------------
Inlet Plug          | IEC-320 C20
Inlet Name          | IEC-320 C20 Inlet
Inlet Line          | L-L/N
Energy Accumulation | 0.00 kWh
Current RMS         | 0.01 A
Voltage RMS         | 117.40 V
Line Frequency      | 60.19 W
Power Factor        | 0.49 
Active Power        | 0.38 W
Apparent Power      | 0.77 VA
```

or

Get inlet power consumption information in JSON format. See SynLink HTTP(S) API documentation to see JSON information

```shell
SynLink> system inlets json
[
  {
    "inletType":"single",
    "inletPlug":"IEC-320 C20",
    "inletPhase":"Single Phase",
    "inletName":"IEC-320 C20 Inlet",
    "id":"I1-9826498",
    "inletLineConfiguration":"L-L\/N",
    "inletCurrentRms":0.008,
    "inletVoltageRms":117.199,
    "inletLineFrequency":60.138,
