The Timer Setting Tab
Just use the series of check boxes and drop down combo
boxes to specify the bank/port and time/duration for a power
on/off.
There are several timer setting modes for selection:
After … to specify power on/off after specific duration
At … to specify power on/off at preset time
Every day … to specify daily power on/off at preset time
Every week …to specify weekly power on/off at preset day & time
To validate a specific timer setting item, just check the
Enable checkbox and press Apply to validate them, and
press OK to save and exit.
To invalidate a specific timer setting item, just uncheck
the Enable check box, press Apply and then OK to save and
exit.
To set timer settings on Bank x, hit the Bank x tab to
select the specific timer setting page of Bank x, and then
configure the timer accordingly.
To clear all timer settings on Bank x, just hit the Clear
Bank x button and then hit Apply button to validate.
To save the timer settings on a bank to a file, just hit the
Save button to save the settings on your current bank into a
file.
To load timer settings of a bank from a file, just hit Load
button and find the timer setting file to load.
To clear all timer settings of all banks, just hit the Clear All
button, and then hit Apply button to validate.
After the timer setting is enabled for a specific port, you will
see a count down timer ticker under that specific port on the
virtual front-panel of your ioPower Management Software
interface, and the alarm LED (red) will be flashing for a
reminder. When within one minutes to power action, the
ticker number will be flashing.

(still more than 21 minutes to go for a Power-On on all ports)
Note that the timer settings will also be executed nonetheless
when (1) the host PC is shut down, or (2) the ioPower Management
Software is disconnected to the ioPower. And the ioPower unit will
also retain the last known port status of each port and will optionally
restore each port to its last known status when ioPower is powered
on again. However, if the ioPower Unit has been powered
down itself, it would lose all its previous timer settings and
need to be reconfigured or reloaded with (previous) timer
settings once again.
Note that if you use the timer function to power on/off your
device, the confirmation dialog prompt will not pop up for your
confirmation just as you use the virtual front-panel button. Since it is
assumed that you have intended to power on/off the specific device
as you have planned… Therefore, timer will go directly to power
on/off the device without warning you once the time is due.
When you input a value that is beyond the acceptable range of a
setting field, a warning prompt will appear to warn you for incorrect
input.

Global Power Action Button
ioPower also allows you to perform global Power ON/OFF
actions on all ports of a specific bank or of all cascaded
banks….
Click the Global Power Action button on the lower left of the
virtual touch panel will evoke a Quick Menu for global power
action such as power on/off all ports of a specific bank or all
banks.

On the Global Power Action Menu, you can choose the
following power on/off options:
• Power on all ports of a Bank x, x = 1~16
• Power off all ports of a Bank x, x = 1~16
• Power on all ports of all banks.
• Power off all ports of all banks.
Just select any of these options for simultaneous power
on/off all ports on a specific bank or on all banks, and a
confirmation prompt will appear to ask you for confirmation.
Click OK to validate the action you selected.
