Outlet Configuration:
The top panel allows you to set up a power management configuration for each
outlet. These settings determine what takes place when you click the Power
Button On or Off. The meanings of the field headings are given in the
following table:
Heading Meaning
Station Name To make things more convenient on a multi-station
installation, each station can be given a distinctive name.
To name a station key in the name of your choice - up to
15 letters and numbers.
Outlet Name Each outlet can be given a distinctive name. The
maximum number of characters is 15.
Modem Ring Resume* This is a Safe Shutdown and Reboot option (see
Overview, page 47). If this option is selected, when the
Outlet's Power Button is clicked OFF, the PN0108 waits
for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay dialog box
(see below), and then performs a Safe Shutdown on the
computer attached to its Outlet. When the Power Button
is clicked ON, the PN0108 waits for the amount time set
in the Power On Delay field (see below), and then
restarts the computer. The front panel LEDs flash while
the action is pending.
Note: With this option, although the computer has been
turned off, it is still receiving power through the outlet.
Therefore, the computer can be locally (physically)
turned on or off - in which case the computer's status
may not correspond with the Outlet Status display. The
gray “socket” icon flashes (instead of remains steady) to
remind you of this. To make sure that the computer is in
sync with the display, click the power On/Off/On (or Off/
On/Off) when making a power status change.
System after AC back* This is a Safe Shutdown option (see Overview, page 47).
If this option is selected, when the Outlet's Power Button
is clicked OFF, the PN0108 waits for the amount time set
in the Power Off Delay dialog box (see below), and then
performs a Safe Shutdown on the computer attached to
its Outlet.
When the Power Button is clicked ON the PN0108 waits
for the amount time set in the Power On Delay field (see
below), and then restarts the computer.
Note: With this option power through the Outlet is cut off.
Although it was safely shutdown, the computer does not
receive any power through the outlet.
