System Power-On Methods

This section discusses the following system power-on methods:

vPower-on Switch

vRemote Power-on via Ring-Indicate Signal

The server automatically powers on when it detects a ²ring indicate² signal from a modem attached to one of the integrated serial ports.

A remote user can call the server to activate ring detection by the modem. Listen for a few more rings than the threshold number for starting the system and then hang up. The default threshold is one ring.
