Eco Manager - Technicolor MediaAccess TG589vn Setup And User Manual

6.2 ECO Manager

Introduction
The MediaAccess Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power
consumption:
For example:
The MediaAccess Gateway reduces the clock frequency of the central processor when there is no or low user activity.

This lowered clock frequency will result in a lower power consumption of the MediaAccess Gateway.
Disable the USB port(s) when they are not used

Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode.

Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the MediaAccess Gateway access point switches to power reduction mode, the access point is switched off and is
only power on periodically to be able to detect new clients. If new clients are detected the wireless access point is fully
powered again. This is only possible if there are no devices connected to the MediaAccess Gateway.
Power reduction is enabled by default, but it is possible to disable it via the MediaAccess Gateway GUI. To configure power
reduction:
1 Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.
For more information, see
2 Under Home Network, click Wireless.
3 In the Navigation
4 Under Configuration:
 Select Power Reduction Enabled to enable power reduction.
 Clear Power Reduction Enabled to disable power reduction.
5 Click Apply.
Example
If we use the same example as in the previous section, you can see that the MediaAccess Gateway is now able to further
reduce the power consumption in periods where less action is required from the MediaAccess Gateway.
