The MusicCAST server has four different standby and power modes, and uses each in a specific set of

circumstances. The MusicCAST server consumes power in all modes, however standby modes generally

consume less power than when the MusicCAST is in power on mode.

The following diagram illustrates the MusicCAST server standby and power on modes, and the actions required

to move between them. The figures in brackets indicate the amount of electricity consumed per hour in that

particular mode.

If you do not use the MusicCAST server for more than 30 minutes, and it is not encoding MP3 files, or

transmitting music data to MusicCAST clients, it automatically places the itself in LAN standby mode, regardless

of your standby mode settings.
