Note: These Power-OFF Delay Time settings are useful to support post-connection operations, such as host
software "Call-Back" services. The recommended selection for this option is two minutes. This will allow time
for a re-dial in cases where the first connect fails (usually because the host PC takes too long to fully bootup), as
well as plenty of time to re-connect if an accidental or unexpected disconnect occurs during a session.
15 Ring Turn-OFF Option - This option provides the ability to remotely turn-OFF the host PC and peripherals
anytime the power was left in a manual-ON state (the power was turned-on locally using the square Master Switch on the
front panel). With this feature enabled, an incoming call allowed to ring long enough will effect a Turn-OFF
immediately on the fifteenth RING. Subsequent calls can then be used to remotely boot the system up and keep it on for
the duration of the call.
This feature is useful if the host PC has been left powered-on without a host/communications software
running in a "wait for call mode". By placing a call to the host PC, the unanswered call will cause a power-OFF
immediately on the fifteenth ring. Another call can then be used to remotely power the system on to gain access
after the host application loads upon startup.
This feature can also be used to Turn-OFF a PC that was intentionally left in a powered-ON state. For
example, an office PC intentionally left running in the evening to perform an after-hours back-up can be turned-
OFF later from home.
DIP Switch Configuration - Power-ON Mode
The following outlines the DIP switch positions for the various functions that apply to the Power-ON operating mode.
Each switch is defined as either OFF (up) or ON (down). DIP-switch changes are dynamic - selections become effective
immediately (upon the next call) without having to power-cycle the unit. Default selections are marked with an "*".
DIP switches 7 and 8 will be discussed later.
Power-ON Ring Number
DIP switches 1 and 2 are used to select the Power-ON Ring Number:
1|OFF 2|ON Power-ON Ring One (1) *
1|ON 2|OFF Power-ON Ring Five (5)
1|ON 2|ON Power-ON Ring Ten (10)
