External Wake Up and Remote Power On
External Wake Up sends a signal to another device to initiate Power On. Connect External
Wake to the Remote Power On of the other device.
The External Wake Up feature of the 8000i provides the ability for an 8000i Device to control
the power state of another 8000i device that it is attached to.
For example when the power button is pressed on the Northstar 15" Monitor it sends a +
Volts signal through its Utility Cable (External Wake Up) to the Black Box Processors Utility
Cable (Remote Power On). The processor detects the voltage and powers on. When the
monitor is turned off, the 8000i Black Box Processor detects zero volts and and after (four) 4
seconds powers down.
NOTE: that the processor takes up to 30 Seconds to power down. This will not be visible on
the 15" Monitor. Allow time for the processor to shut down before removing power to the
system.
