The Call Power is a unique power switch that is activated only when the remote machine will not answer the phone or when the user detects a failure. It operates transparently to all remote control applications. If a remote unit will not answer the phone, the Call Power will detect a “ring-no-answer” (8 or 16 rings) and turn off the power for 10 seconds then back on. When the PC reboots it will come back online. If the modem answers, but the computer is not functioning properly, the user hangs up and calls back twice within a 5 minute period, and the Call Power will turn off the power. This will reboot the machine so that it can come back online.
The Call Power can also be used to turn on a device remotely. The Call Power detects a ringing phone line and counts the number of rings. It can be set to turn power on after 1, 4, 8, or 16 rings. This will allow a PC to be off until called. It will automatically shut off after 1, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. (switch selectable)
