Cirrus LT User Manual v2.3 - Chapter 4
How the Cirrus LT power management modes
are all related
No matter how you customize the Cirrus LT’s Power Management Modes via
the
OnScreen Menu Timeout
and the
Teradici OSD Timeout
, the Cirrus LT fol-
lows a pre-determined ‘chain of events’ in certain situations. Familiarizing your-
self with this ‘chain of events’ can help you keep the Cirrus LT Power Manage-
ment Modes at their optimal settings.
Chain of events
1.
After a certain amount of user inactivity the LCD will turn off to con-
serve power. This is controlled via the
OnScreen Menu Timeout
AND/OR
the
Teradici OSD Timeout
. The
OnScreen Menu Timeout
controls when
the screen will timeout while the NCS
OSM
is being used, while the
Teradici OSD Timeout
controls when the screen will timeout while using
Teradici’s Firmware. The Operating System settings will dictate when
the screen times out while in session unless the NCS
OnScreen Menu
is
open during your session.
2.
Next, if the Low Power modes are enabled, the Sleep mode will activate
after the duration specified.
3.
Auto Power Off
is the lowest setting available. When
Auto Power Off
is
configured, the machine will shut off completely after the duration of
this setting has elapsed. However, this duration doesn’t start until after
the machine has entered low power mode/gone to sleep. If
Wake-on-LAN
is also enabled, it will draw some power to keep the Ethernet port active.
In this
Wake-on-LAN
mode the Power LED will be solid amber, other-
wise all LEDs will be off.
Teradici has an auto-power off function of their own. It cannot be con-
trolled in the local Firmware options, but can be set in both their
Man-
agement Console
and their Web Portal for clients. This overrides all
other settings - if it’s set to 60 seconds, the device will turn off in 60
seconds after inactivity regardless of other settings in place.
