DirectStream Power Plant 15

5. AUTO-REBOOT: If your Power Plant 15 is connected to the network, and if the network’s

router is being powered by the Power Plant 15, you may want to set that zone to AUTO-REBOOT.

Using this setting, the Power Plant 15 will use the router and the network to ping the PS Audio

Server, essentially saying “hello, I’m an active network device and the router is working.” If the

ping does not reach our server after several tries, the Power Plant 15 will assume that the router

has frozen up, and will automatically reboot that zone, thereby resetting the router and restoring

connectivity. One may wish to power the network’s modem on this zone as well, for the same

reason. This mode is independent of the front power button.

6. ALWAYS ON: In this setting, the P15 will output power from this zone regardless of

whether the front-panel power button is engaged. As long as the Power Plant 15 is

plugged in and the back-panel power switch is set to on, any zone set to ALWAYS ON will

output regulated, regenerated AC power.

*Note*

Pressing the right or left arrow buttons will take you from control parameters for Zone A

to the parameters for Zone B, C, D, and E respectively. All Zone settings can be made with

the same instructions and suggestions as described above for Zone A.

The nal screen in this section is the Network Screen. Here you can see the P15 IP address and

other network information. Connecting your Power Plant 15 to the network is an option that provides

extended functionality benets. It is recommended that the Power Plant 15 be connected to the router

via hard-wire connection. In addition, in order to make sure your Power Plant is fully compliant with

international regulations, please install the included ferrite noise suppressor onto the Ethernet cable close

to the unit.
