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.

- 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.
