Placing a workstation (with soft power off function) in a ready-to-operate state by means of
software

the energy-saving mode after the operating system is shut down. Requirements: Your system must
support switching off with software and this functionality must be enabled in
BIOS Setup
. The soft
power off software may also need to be installed on Windows NT systems.
You can also switch your workstation into the standby mode via the
DeskView
software with the
DeskOff
component.
