A sample session, Power-ON Mode:
1 The user makes a modem call to the phone number of the line attached to the Power On/Off +Aux control unit.
2 The Power On/Off +Aux unit detects the incoming RINGs and counts them. After the first ring, the Power On/Off
+Aux signals the IPM to power-ON the host PC and peripherals.
3 The line continues to ring as the PC is booting. A command in the PC's AUTOEXEC.BAT or Startup folder loads
the host/communications software (i.e. pcANYWHERE, HyperAccess, etc.), or the host program loads per its own
"launch at startup" option (through modification of the registry). The modem is initialized into answer mode.
4 The modem answers the incoming call and a connection is made. The Power On/Off +Aux sees the OFF-HOOK
condition present on the line, indicating that the line is in-use, and keeps the power ON for the duration of the call.
5 When the user is finished and ends the session, the modems disconnect (hang-up) and the ON-HOOK condition is
detected. The IPM is signaled to power-OFF.
This scenario describes a remote session using the Remote Power On/Off according to its factory default settings. There
are many interesting options to supplement using the system in other ways. See the Sample Session section for more
examples.
