Software Support, Preset Power On Control

Software Support

The TP6000 series provides a software power off command for application program maneuvers. The TP6000 also provides a specific means for the software to detect if the system is working on external or UPS battery power. Due to this feature, compatible software applications have the ability to change operating conditions when running on standard/backup power. The software programmer may take reference from the TP6000 technical manual to apply such features.

Preset Power On Control

The system may also be turned on according to predetermined parameters, such as Modem Ring Up, Alarm Clock Wake Up and/or Wake-on-LAN.

To utilize these functions, the user should enter the CMOS setup by pressing the “DEL” key at system boot up and choose the “INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS” option. Next, set the “Ring Power Up Control” to enable for Modem Ring Up or select the “Power Up by Alarm” for Alarm Clock Wake Up. Save the configuration and exit the CMOS setup program. The Preset Power On Control will then be activated. However, for the Wake-on-LAN feature, certain specific programs have to be executed prior to power off. This program will set the terminal to standby for LAN Wake Up during power off so that when the predefined condition is met (LAN status changes or receives a certain packet) the TP6000 will then be powered on.

When the TP6000 system is turned off after a successful boot up, the defined preset power on functions will keep monitoring for the preset conditions. When a Modem call or Wake-on-LAN Packet is received, the system will be turned on and start to work according to the security conditions that the application program defines, only if the Ring Power Up Control or LAN Wake Up function is enabled. If the Power Up by Alarm is enabled, the TP6000 system will be turned on at the defined time (Hour : Minute : Second) of the preset day of week, day of month, month of year or even every day if the date items are not defined.

Please note that if the TP6000 system is improperly turned off before a complete boot up process, the above preset power on control functions will be disabled until completion of the next successful boot process.
