Manage the Power Status of Devices

You can create tasks for changing the device status. These tasks can be executed on a configured schedule indicating when the device enters or recovers from energy saver mode.

For example, configure two tasks for the device to enter energy saver mode at 7:00 PM every night and recover from energy-saver mode at 6:00 AM every morning as shown below:

  • Task to set the device in energy saver mode.
  • Task to recover the device from energy saver mode and enter standby mode.

To execute an energy-saver mode task, the SNMP access account is required.

  1. Go to [Configuration] → [Configuration Tasks].

  2. Click (Add).

  3. Enter the name and description on the [General] tab.

The security group items are displayed when the group restriction function is enabled in the security settings, and you can restrict the device group to be specified for the template target.

For the security group context, refer to Configure Group Restrictions.

  1. For the operation type, select [Energy Saver Mode] or [Cancel Energy Saver Mode].

  2. Specify the devices or groups for which to change the Energy Saver Mode on the [Target Devices/Groups] tab.

    1. Click Add Group) or (Add Device).

    2. Select and add the target devices or groups to the [Target Device] or [Target Groups] list, and then click [OK].

  1. On the [Schedule] tab, configure the date, time, and interval to change the Energy Saver Mode of the device.

If you select [Once Only] as the schedule type, the task will run when you click the (Save) button.

To specify a time period that is exempt from the task, select the [Advanced Settings] check box.

  1. Specify whether or not to receive a notification when a task is completed on the [Notification] tab.

Specify either Input Email Address Manually or Select Destination.

You can select the destination from the e-mail destinations configured in [System] → [Notifications] → [Destination Address]. For details, refer to Create a Destination.

  1. Click (Save) when the settings are complete. Click (Run Immediately) to execute the task immediately.

Execute a configuration task at times other than business hours whenever possible.

If 213 and 214 errors occur in the task log after executing a configuration task, reboot the corresponding device immediately.
