Mode

Drop down the list to select a choice of power operation mode,

 

 

as follows:

 

 

Š Modem Ring Resume, Wake On LAN, and System after AC

 

 

Back are Safe Shutdown and Reboot options, and can be

 

 

used for scheduled restarts.

 

 

When an Outlet's Power Button is clicked OFF, the PON

 

 

device first sends a message to the computer telling it to

 

 

prepare for a shutdown; it then waits for the amount time set

 

 

in the Power Off Delay field to give the computer time to

 

 

close down, and then turns off the power.

 

 

When it is time to turn the power On, the PON device waits

 

 

for the amount time set in the Power On Delay field, and

 

 

then - depending on the mode chosen - either calls the

 

 

computer's modem or sends an Ethernet message to the

 

 

computer instructing it to start up again.

 

 

Note: Refer to your PON manual for details on setting up

 

 

Safe Shutdown and Reboot.

 

 

Š If Kill the Power is selected, the PON device waits for the

 

 

amount time set in the Power Off Delay field, and then turns

 

 

the Outlet's power Off. Turning the power off performs a cold

 

 

(non-safe) shutdown. There is no scheduled restart available

 

 

with this shutdown method.

 

 

 

 

Power On Delay

Sets the amount of time the PON device waits after the Power

 

 

Button is clicked before it turns on the computer attached to the

 

 

corresponding outlet.

 

 

Note: The default delay time is 0 seconds; the maximum is 999

 

 

seconds. When a series of outlets are scheduled to be

 

 

powered up, they turn on in sequence with a default delay of 10

 

 

milliseconds between each outlet.

 

 

 

 

Power Off Delay

Sets the amount of time the PON device waits after the Power

 

 

Button is clicked before it shuts down the computer attached to

 

 

the corresponding outlet.

 

 

For the System after AC Back option, after the delay time

 

 

expires, the PON device waits another fifteen seconds, then

 

 

shuts the computer down.

 

 

The default delay time is 15 seconds. The maximum delay time

 

 

is 999 seconds.
