Inactivity Definitions Tab
The
Inactivity Definitions
tab is used to define when a workstation is inactive.
The basic definition that Power Save uses to define inactivity is stated at the top of the tab:
the mouse
and/or keyboard are not being used
. The other options are in addition to this definition.
By default, the four configurable options are not selected (unless pre-set via the Power Save Assistant).
If no configuration is done to this tab, the only element of inactivity will be keyboard and mouse
movement.
To include CPU activity in the inactivity definition, select
CPU Usage
and use the slider bar to configure
the percentage of CPU usage which defines inactivity.
To include network activity in the inactivity definition, select
Network Usage
and use the slider bar to
configure the amount of network traffic (in kB/s) which defines inactivity.
To include hard disk activity in the inactivity definition, select
Hard Drive Usage
and use the slider bar
to configure the amount of hard disk traffic (in kB/s) which defines inactivity.
For all of the above inactivity definitions, the program will check for activity every 30
seconds to determine if the utilization is below the designated amount.
To include the activity of running applications in the inactivity definitions, select
Do not manage power
if any of the following applications are running
. If any of the applications which are added to this list are
running, the computer is considered active and shutdown/sleep actions will not occur.
To add an individual application to the list, click the
icon, browse to the location of the desired
program, and click
Choose
or drag and drop the program into the list. The application is then added to
the list. To remove an application from the list, select it and click the
icon.
Power Save will continue to manage monitor power when CPU Usage, Network Usage or the Hard
Disk Usage is above the threshold set in the Inactivity Definitions tab.
