Eco Manager - Technicolor TG587n v3 Setup And User Manual

6.2 ECO Manager

Introduction
The Technicolor Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power
consumption:
For example:
The Technicolor 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 Technicolor Gateway.
Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode.

Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the Technicolor 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 Technicolor Gateway.
Power reduction is disabled by default, but it is possible to enable it via the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
Enabling power reduction may have impact on the reliability of your wireless connection. This feature is intended for
advanced users only.
To enable power reduction:
1 Browse to the Technicolor 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 Technicolor Gateway is now able to further
reduce the power consumption in periods where less action is required from the Technicolor Gateway.
ECO button
If you are not using the wireless access point of your Technicolor Gateway, you might consider to disable the wireless access
point permanently. This allows you to further reduce the power consumption.
