If the appliance is turned on, a power failure occurs and unattended-start mode is
enabled in the Configuration/Setup utility program, the appliance starts
automatically when power is restored.

If ac power is present, the appliance is off and the wake-up feature is enabled in
the Configuration/Setup utility program, the wake-up feature turns on the
appliance at the set time.
v
If ac power is present, the appliance is off, and ring signal detect is enabled in
the Configuration/Setup utility program, turn ON the appliance by telephone input.
v
The Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor also can turn on the

preparation programs that configure the network operating system are run
automatically. These programs must finish running before you use any
included applications to connect to or configure the Network Attached
