System Power-On Methods

This section discusses the following system power-on methods:
v Power-on Switch
v Remote Power-on via Ring-Indicate Signal
The server automatically powers on when it detects a "ring indicate" signal from a
modem attached to one of the integrated serial ports.
A remote user can call the server to activate ring detection by the modem. Listen for
a few more rings than the threshold number for starting the system and then hang
up. The default threshold is one ring.
