# Features
|
|
|
|
## Controls
|
|
|
|
The frontend exposes for each socket two ODB keys:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Socket n requested => indicates the requested state for the socket number n
|
|
Socket n current => indicates the current state of the socket number
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are 3 state currently supported:
|
|
- On
|
|
- Off
|
|
- Restart
|
|
|
|
## Dynamic grow / shrink
|
|
|
|
This frontend will detect the number of sockets that EPICS declares.
|
|
It will adapt accordingly. This feature also works at runtime.
