following conditions:
If Modem Ring Resume is enabled (see Modem Ring
Resume*, page 39), an outlet still receives electricity even
when its corresponding computer has been powered OFF.
The Power LED blinks OFF, then ON for 8 seconds, then
OFF, then ON for 8 seconds, etc., to indicate this situation.
When a power status change is pending, the LED flashes
until the change has taken place.
If both LEDs flash it indicates that there is either an overcurrent
situation, or the relay has failed. See Flashing Lightbulb,
page 33, for more details.
During normal operation this switch is in the NORMAL position.
The RECOVER position is used when performing a firmware
upgrade. See Upgrading The Firmware, page 53, for upgrading
details.

Single Stage Installation
In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional PN0108 Stations daisy
chained down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation, refer to
the installation diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram
correspond to the numbered steps), and do the following:
1. Use the PON cable that was provided with this package to connect the
PN0108's PON IN port to the CN-6000's (or other compatible device - see
Supported Devices, page 69) PON port.
2. For each device, use a Power Outlet Power Cord (supplied with this
package), to connect any available PN0108 output port to the device's AC
socket. See Power Cords, page 64, for power cord safety information.
3. Safe Shutdown is supported for computers running Windows 98SE, ME,
NT, 2000, XP, and Windows Server 2003.
If you choose to utilize the Safe Shutdown feature (use of this feature is
optional), for each computer use a Safe Shutdown cable to connect from
the PN0108's Safe Shutdown port to the computer's serial port.
Note: You must connect the computer to the same letter designation for
both the AC Outlet and Safe Shutdown port.
4. Use the AC power cord provided with this package to connect the
PN0108's Power Socket to an AC power source. See Power Cords,
page 64, for power cord safety information.
