1.2 Saving energy
When integrated PCs or connected devices are switched off, the integrated, patented
power saving mode of the TechniSat 200 Mbit/s adapters automatically reduces energy
consumption across the PowerLine Webcast 2 network by 65 percent.
In the event that the user forgets to manually switch connected devices to standby mode,
the energy saving function will still be triggered. The network card for the computer con-
nected to the TechniSat PowerLine Webcast 2 adapter must be inactive for this to work.
To allow the power saving mode to be enabled for network cards that remain active even
when the computer is switched off, we recommend using a multiple socket with an on/off
switch.
Below are examples of possible uses for the system in office and home networks.
