This file describes the npm2000 script made to control the manageable power supply NPM2000

See http://github.com/niklas974/npm2000 for git repository

To use the Script just clone the git repository or otherwise get hold of the npm.sh script. You have to edit line 7 within the script to set your IP address. The Usernmae used in the script is the default user Name of the device ("lxb"), I did not try with another username. I did not test the script with a password other than "12345678". But there is no point to change this anyway as it will be transmitted to the npm device without using any encryption.

USAGE: ./npm.sh OPERATION [PARAMETER] Can set the status or report the status of the ports on a npm2000 manageable power device IP address and password of the device are set within the script. Open the script in you favorite editor and edit line 7 (IP address) accordingly. I do NOT recommend to edit the password as it has not been tested with a password other than "12345678". Be even more careful with a password that contains non-Hex chars.

To view the current port status of the npm2000 type: ./npm.sh status this will give you the status of all ports in the form: 00100001 with every digit giving the status of the corresponding port 0 means that the port is switched off and 1 means the port is switched on. in this case ports 3 and 8 are switched on, ports 1,2,4,5,6 and 7 are switech off. Arguments for status reports: ./npm.sh staus $port where $port is the number of the port you want to know the status of Example: ./npm.sh status 5 Port 5 is switched off ./npm status verbose OR ./npm staus v this will give you the status of all ports in an human readable form: Port 1 is switched off Port 2 is switechd on ....

To set the status of a port of the npm2000 type: ./npm.sh set $port on/off where $port is the number of the port you want to set Example: ./npm.sh set 4 on this will switch port 4 on, regardless to the status it currently has. If setting a port, the npm Script will take about 1.2 seconds to exit. This is due to netcat waiting for a response and timing out after one second. If you know a way to reduce the timeout for netcat please let me know.
