Remote Turn ON
Method
Use the drop-down menu to select one of the choices, below:
Wake on LAN:
This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this
is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU first sends
a message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it
then waits for the amount time set in the
Power Off Delay
field to
give the OS time to close down before the computer is powered
down to standby mode.
Likewise, when the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for
the amount time set in the
Power On Delay
field, then sends an
Ethernet message to the computer connected to the Outlet
telling the computer to turn itself On.
Note:
For Safe Shutdown and Restart, the computer must be running
Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the
Safe Shutdown
program
(available by download from our website), must be installed and running
on the computer.
System after AC Back:
This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart
option. If this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco
PDU first sends a message to the computer telling it to prepare
for a shutdown; it then waits for the amount time set in the
Power
Off Delay
field to give the OS time to close down before the
computer is powered down.
When the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the amount
time set in the
Power On Delay
field, then sends power to the
server. When the server receives the power, it turns itself on.
Note:
For Safe Shutdown and Reboot, the computer must be running
Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the
Safe Shutdown
program
(available by download from our website), must be installed and running
on the computer.
Kill the Power:
If this option is selected, the eco PDU waits for the
amount time set in the
Power Off Delay
field, and then turns the
Outlet's power Off. Turning the power off performs a cold (non-
safe) shutdown.
MAC Address
In order to use either of the Safe Shutdown and Restart methods
the MAC address of the computer connected to the outlet must be
filled in here.
