RN214 Power On Behaviour
Hi experts!
Just a quickie: ReadyNas OS6 Hardware Manual (ReadyNAS_ OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf) says on page 58 for the RN214: "[...] When you connect the system to a power supply or the system recovers from a power outage, the system returns to its last state [...] If the system was powered off, the system remains off when the power supply is connected or power is restored. [...]"
That is not true. At least my RN214 (Firmware 6.9.5) always powers on after I connect the power supply to mains. Is there anything I could do to change this? Didn't find a configuration option on the admin page.
Reason is, that I have my RN214 on a switched plug distributor with switch, DSL modem and other stuff which I want to switch off if I'm not using those for a longer time. Since the RN214 supports wake-on-LAN, it's unneccessary that it powers on automatically after reconnection to the mains outlet.
Thanks for any advice!
