Bank and Port: Specifies which switch (the bank) and what port on
that bank that the power event applies to. A setting of 0 means “all” in
the software. For example, bank 0, port 0 will apply the action to all
ports on all banks. Bank 2, port 0 will apply the event to all ports on
bank 2. You cannot use a port setting other than 0 when the bank
setting is 0 (i.e. bank 0, port 2, meaning port 2 on every switch). If
that situation occurs, the software will ignore the event.
Power-On/Power-Off: Describes what action the software should
execute on the switch at the given time. Since this feature is
designed for unattended operation, you will not be warned when the
port(s) power off.
After/When: Allows you to specify a specific time in 24-hour format to
power the port(s) on or off (up to 23 hours, 59 minutes) if When is
selected, or after a specific duration if After is selected (up to 99 hours,
59 minutes).
Hour/Minutes: Sets the time or duration of a power event in
conjunction with the After/When setting.
Shutdown: When enabled, it will power off the host computer after
the power event has been executed. NOTE: If this option is selected,
you will be unable to access the management software until the host
computer is powered on locally.
Choose OK to apply your changes to Cancel to discard them.
NOTE: The power management software must be running and connected to the
switch(es) in order to perform unattended power events. If the software is closed or
disconnected using the Connect>Disconnect menu feature, scheduled events will not
occur.

status indicators), the following menu will appear:

every bank) on or off. Once you highlight and choose your selection from the menu, you
