Chapter 5. Administration

Outlet Configuration:

The top panel allows you to set up a power management configuration for each outlet. These settings determine what takes place when you click the Power Button On or Off. The meanings of the field headings are given in the following table:

Heading

Meaning

 

 

Station Name

To make things more convenient on a multi-station

 

installation, each station can be given a distinctive name.

 

To name a station key in the name of your choice - up to

 

15 letters and numbers.

 

 

Outlet Name

Each outlet can be given a distinctive name. The

 

maximum number of characters is 15.

 

 

Modem Ring Resume*

This is a Safe Shutdown and Reboot option (see

 

Overview, page 47). If this option is selected, when the

 

Outlet's Power Button is clicked OFF, the PN0108 waits

 

for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay dialog box

 

(see below), and then performs a Safe Shutdown on the

 

computer attached to its Outlet. When the Power Button

 

is clicked ON, the PN0108 waits for the amount time set

 

in the Power On Delay field (see below), and then

 

restarts the computer. The front panel LEDs flash while

 

the action is pending.

 

Note: With this option, although the computer has been

 

turned off, it is still receiving power through the outlet.

 

Therefore, the computer can be locally (physically)

 

turned on or off - in which case the computer's status

 

may not correspond with the Outlet Status display. The

 

gray “socket” icon flashes (instead of remains steady) to

 

remind you of this. To make sure that the computer is in

 

sync with the display, click the power On/Off/On (or Off/

 

On/Off) when making a power status change.

 

 

System after AC back*

This is a Safe Shutdown option (see Overview, page 47).

 

If this option is selected, when the Outlet's Power Button

 

is clicked OFF, the PN0108 waits for the amount time set

 

in the Power Off Delay dialog box (see below), and then

 

performs a Safe Shutdown on the computer attached to

 

its Outlet.

 

When the Power Button is clicked ON the PN0108 waits

 

for the amount time set in the Power On Delay field (see

 

below), and then restarts the computer.

 

Note: With this option power through the Outlet is cut off.

 

Although it was safely shutdown, the computer does not

 

receive any power through the outlet.
