7.1 Code of Conduct
Power states
Code of Conduct provides rules for the power consumption in:
Full power state:
This is the normal operation mode of the device, where all functionality is enabled.
Low power state:
When there is no user traffic on the device, the device should switch to low power mode. This is a state in which devices
are only allowed to use a limited amount of energy to be able to power its components and respond to user activity.
Example
Take the following example:
The user switches off his computer at 20:00.
There are no other devices connected to the MediaAccess Gateway.
The MediaAccess Gateway switches to low power mode. This results in a considerable drop in the overall power
consumption of the MediaAccess Gateway.
