Power-ON and Infinite-On/Off Modes
In the Power-ON and Infinite-On/Off operating modes, the idle (ON-HOOK) state of the STATUS LED will indicate
whether or not the power has been turned on remotely since the last time it was powered off manually. Only two distinct
flash rates will occur: either a mostly off slow flash, or a mostly on slow flash. With just a glance you will instantly know
if a phone call had activated your PC since the last time you powered it off. Following describes the two possible states:
• OFF-on-OFF ~ The Status LED light is mostly OFF. This indicates the unit is functioning in an idle on-hook state.
The system has NOT been powered-ON remotely since it was last powered off manually. In this state, the LED light
will flash in a continuous 8 second cycle:
7 seconds OFF - 1 second ON, etc.
• ON-off-ON ~ The Status LED light is mostly ON. This indicates the unit is functioning in an idle on hook-state.
The system HAS been remotely powered-ON at least once since it was last powered off manually. In this state the
LED will flash in the following 8 second cycle:
7 seconds ON - 1 second OFF, etc.
This feature is especially useful for users that receive facsimile transmissions by computer, but do not desire to leave the
computer on all the time. When such a user finishes their work and powers the computer off, the Status LED will revert
to the mostly OFF state. The user can feel confident the system will bootup and accept fax calls while he/she is away.
Upon return, the user need only look at the Status LED to determine whether or not the system had been powered on
during their absence. If the Status LED has switched to the mostly ON state, then the user knows the system was
remotely turned on at least once, and that he/she should bootup the computer to check for received faxes.
REBOOT Mode
In the REBOOT Mode, the idle (ON-HOOK) state of the STATUS LED will have only three states, as follows:
• ON ~ The LED is fully illuminated. The unit is functioning in an idle on-hook state; the line is not in use.
• FLASHING ~ The light is flashing evenly on and off. Either a reboot is pending and the unit is counting down
towards the off>delay>on cycle or a reboot has occurred recently and the REBOOT Inhibit timer is currently
counting down. Another reboot will not be allowed until the STATUS LED goes solid ON ( 2 1/2 minutes from the
previous reboot). The light will flash as follows:
1 second ON - 1 second OFF, etc.
