Outlet Configuration

This page lets you set up the power management configuration for the selected outlet. The meanings of the field headings are given in the following table

	:
Heading	Meaning
Outlet Name	Each outlet can be given a distinctive name. The maximum number of
	characters is 15.
Confirmation	If this option is enabled (there is a check in the checkbox), a dialog box
Required	comes up asking you to confirm a power operation before it is
	performed. If it is disabled (there is no check in the checkbox), the
	operation is performed without confirmation.
Power ON	Sets the amount of time the eco PDU waits after the Power Button is
Delay	clicked (see Bank Status, page 46), before it powers on the 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	Sets the amount of time the eco PDU waits after the Power Button is
Delay	clicked (see Bank Status, page 46), before it turns off the power to the
	outlet.
	For the System after AC Back option (see below), after the delay time
	expires, the eco PDU waits another fifteen seconds, then shuts the
	computer down.
	The default delay time is 15 secs; the maximum delay time is 999 secs.
Remote Turn	Use the drop-down menu to select one of the choices, below:
ON Method	Wake on LAN: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this is
	selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU 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
	OS time to close down before the computer is powered down to
	standby mode.
	Likewise, when the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the
	amount time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends an Ethernet
	message to the computer connected to the Outlet telling the computer
	to turn itself On.
	Note: For Safe Shutdown and Restart, the computer must be running Windows
	(98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program (available by
	download from our website), must be installed and running on the computer.
	System after AC Back: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If
	this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU 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
	OS time to close down before the computer is powered down.
	When the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the amount time
	set in the Power On Delay field, then sends power to the server.
	When the server receives the power, it turns itself on.
	Note: For Safe Shutdown and Reboot, the computer must be running Windows
	(98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program (available by
	download from our website), must be installed and running on the computer.
