This section explains how to define Power Control functions.
Outline
The server power turns on when a user logs on a client if the Power Control function command is stored as the startup program on the client. The startup program is executed automatically when the Windows system starts. You can register the startup program in the Windows system.
Note that this function can only be used if the server is running Windows x86.
Definition procedure
Right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut.
Using the Create Shortcut wizard, input the command line below into Type the location of the item, and then click Next.
<Systemwalker installation directory>\MpWalker.JM\bin\f3crhpcs.exe <IP address> |
The "IP address" must be the IP address of the PowerNetSNMP adapter which is connected to the server whose power is controlled.
Specify a shortcut name, and click Finish.
Example shortcut name: Power Control client function

*1: Below is an example from Windows Server 2008. Note that the folder differs depending on the OS:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Ensure that you show hidden files and folders in the settings.
Note
If a Windows server shares folders on the network
If a shared folder for servers has been assigned to a directory on the client and if such assignment is used automatically during user logon, you must take the following notes.
If you have set the server to turn on when a user logs on a client, the server may not turn on when a client is turned on. In such case, the directory assignment fails on the client. If you need to assign the shared folder for servers to the directory on the client, you must manually assign it after the server has started up.
