PCServer330 - Alarm/Wakeup Settings

Applicable to: World-Wide

Alarm/Wakeup Settings:
The server can be started manually or at a predefined event. The server enters one of the following states.

Attended mode:
This is the 'on— state that occurs when you press the power switch from the Standby or Unattended mode. The Power-On Light comes on whenever the server is on.

Unattended mode:
The server starts at a specified date and time, or when it receives a signal from either serial port. When the server powers on in the Unattended mode, the Unattended Power-On light and the Power-On Light come on.

Standby mode:
The server is powered down. The automatic restart feature, which enables the server to restart following a momentary power loss, means that the server is never completely powered off.

The server must be in the Standby mode (off) for the Alarm/Wakeup Settings features that you define to take effect.

Select the Alarm/Wakeup Settings choice to enable and disable features that power-on the server automatically. The result of pressing the power switch varies, depending on which mode the server is in. To toggle from:
Standby mode to Attended mode, press and release power switch.
Attended mode to Standby mode, press the power switch in slowly just until the power-on light goes out and then immediately release the switch.
Unattended mode to Attended mode, press and release the power switch. The server restarts in Attended mode.

Notes: 1. For proper operation of the Alarm/Wakeup Settings options, set the Password Prompt choice to Off. 2. Set the Wakeup features immediately before you plan to power-off the server. The server locks and cannot be used after you exit, saving the settings. When the server restarts, in either Attended or Unattended mode, the Wakeup features return to the default, disabled, setting. 3. When both features are enabled, the server starts when the first condition (time or signal) occurs.

The Alarm/Wakeup Settings choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup menu.

Wake Up Timer:
With this option, you can specify a date and time at which the server will be powered on automatically.
To set the Unattended mode, select Alarm/Wakeup Settings , then select Wakeup Timer. Then, set or change the settings. Select Wakeup Date to specify a date up to 31 days away. Select Wakeup Time to specify a time, using a 24-hour clock format.

Wake Up on Ring:
When this option is enabled, the server powers on automatically when it receives a signal from Serial port A or B.
