After the timer setting is enabled for a specific port, you will
see a count down timer ticker under that specific port on the
virtual front-panel of your
ioPower Management Software
interface, and the alarm LED (red) will be flashing for a
reminder. When within one minutes to power action, the
ticker number will be flashing.
Tickers showing remaining time for power actions
(still more than 21 minutes to go for a Power-On on all ports)
Note that the timer settings will also be executed nonetheless
when (1) the host PC is shut down, or (2) the
ioPower
Management
Software is disconnected to the
ioPower
. And the ioPower unit will
also retain the last known port status of each port and will optionally
restore each port to its last known status when ioPower is powered
on again.
However, if the ioPower Unit has been powered
down itself, it would lose all its previous timer settings and
need to be reconfigured or reloaded with (previous) timer
settings once again.
Note that if you use the timer function to power on/off your
device, the confirmation dialog prompt will not pop up for your
confirmation just as you use the virtual front-panel button. Since it is
assumed that you have intended to power on/off the specific device
as you have planned… Therefore, timer will go directly to power
on/off the device without warning you once the time is due.
When you input a value that is beyond the acceptable range of a
setting field, a warning prompt will appear to warn you for incorrect
input.
