How to Use Device Always ON, and Power Scheduling on Allxon Portal?

Introduction

The Allxon Power Control tools, powered by the OOB Enabler within the Power Cycling feature, offer more than just the three essential options—Switch ON/OFF, Power Reset, and Force Shutdown. They also include two automated group-level functions, supported by Allxon OOB Enabler-Bolt, specifically designed to minimize management costs and reduce device downtime:

  • Device Always ON: Automatically monitors and maintains the power status of devices at a group level, ensuring continuous operation across your fleet.
  • Power ON/OFF Scheduling: Allows you to schedule device power ON or OFF times, enhancing energy efficiency while aligning with your operational needs.
