Power-ON Mode, +Aux feature Enabled
Power-ON Ring 5; 2 minute Power-OFF delay.
Popular configuration for secure power control and optional line-sharing between modem and one other device attached
to the AUX port.
1 The user places a call to the phone number of the line attached to the Power On/Off +Aux. After one (1) ring is
heard, the caller waits a couple of seconds then hangs-up. This first call will prime the Remote Power On/Off
system.
2 After 10 seconds, but within the next 2 minutes, the user instructs their host/communications software (i.e.
pcANYWHERE) to place a second call to the host system.
3 The Power On/Off +Aux unit detects the incoming RINGs and counts them. After the fifth ring, the Power On/Off
+Aux signals the IPM to power-ON the host PC and peripherals.
4 The calling PC waits (line continues to ring) as the host PC is booting. A command in the host PC's
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, startup folder, or Windows registry loads the host/communications software. The modem is
initialized to answer on ring three.
5 The modem answers the incoming call, a connection is made, and the session begins. The Power On/Off +Aux sees
the OFF-HOOK condition and keeps the power ON for the duration of the call.
6 When the user is finished and the session is ended, the modems disconnect (hang-up) and the ON-HOOK condition
is detected. After a 2 minute delay, the IPM is signaled to power-OFF.
