Server Technology PP02 - Manual (Page 6)

About this Guide
This guide is intended to be printed. Printing this guide will provide proper clarity of the diagrams.
Remote Power On/Off has been designed to control power supplied to a PC. In general, the PC is running a communications application
that utilizes an analog modem to communicate over ordinary telephone lines. Although the manual is written with this in mind, the Remote
Power On/Off is capable of controlling power to any device that can be turned on and off by its AC source. As long as the device powers
on simply by providing power to it, the Remote Power On/Off can turn on, turn off, or reboot the device with a phone call; a modem is not
required. Refer to the following on-line document for guidelines and useful information if you are unsure about whether or not your
particular computer is capable of being turned on and off by the AC power source:

The primary installation section of this manual describes the installation of the standard Power On/Off +Aux, model #PP02. These
instructions generically apply to all versions. Additional instructions for the Windows 95/98/ME ShutDown/
RE BOOT version, model
#PP03, and the Windows NT/XP/2000 ShutDown/ RE BOOT version, model PPNT, are contained in the Windows 95/98/ME ShutDown
Appendix B and Windows NT/XP/2000 ShutDown Appendix C respectively.
This fourth edition manual was created for electronic distribution only; it has never been published in printed form. Information contained
in this manual is not necessarily accurate for all existing Power On/Off +Aux revisions. Server Technology's original Remote Power
On/Off was introduced in 1990 and the "+Aux" version was introduced in early 1993. Server Technology only warrants that your Power
On/Off +Aux product will operate according to the manual that was originally delivered with the product. In general, if the product was
purchased in 1997 or later, then this manual will accurately reflect your fully-operational unit's behavior.
Installation should be performed only after printing and reading this manual in its entirety and with the unit configured to factory defaults
as originally received. Once the installation is complete you must determine which operating mode (either the Power-ON,
RE BOOT, or
Infinite-On/Off) you would like to use, then proceed to that section of this manual for specific instructions. For additional information
about the +Aux feature for line-sharing or as a security measure, refer to the +Aux Feature section; this section explains Power On/Off
+Aux's unique line-sharing feature, which is useful for allowing a single phone-line to be used for a modem, the Power On/Off +Aux, and
one other automatic answering telephone device.
Please note that Power On/Off +Aux is designed and built to monitor a single telephone line. In America, a single line is generally wired
as the two center conductors/pins within a common RJ11 phone jack. Although Power On/Off +Aux is a single-line device, it does support
complete un-monitored passing of a second line through its RJ11 telephone connectors. In addition, the primary line that is monitored is
surge-protected by a single metallic-oxide varistor (the main component in surge-protection) and two fuse-resistors (one for the modem and
a second for the auxiliary device). Although relatively rare, damage to the Power On/Off +Aux unit due to surge is not covered under the
product's warranty, and liability for damage to other equipment due to surge on the telephone line is herein expressly denied.
