Saving Energy with Your Technicolor Gateway
Code of Conduct
To prove its commitment to protect the environment, Technicolor has signed the Code of Conduct, a global agreement to
reduce the power consumption of broadband access devices.
For more information, see
“6.1 Code of Conduct” on page 42
.
Technicolor power saving innovations
To further reduce the power consumption, Technicolor has developed the
ECO Manager
. This system constantly monitors
the services provided by the Technicolor Gateway and automatically switches unused services to an ECO-friendly state. For
more information, see
“6.2 ECO Manager” on page 43
.
Next to this automated tool, you can also choose to manually disable services that you will not be using. For more
information,
“6.3 Manually Switching Off Services to Reduce Power” on page 44

Code of Conduct
Power states
Code of Conduct provides rules for the power consumption in:
Full power state:
This is the normal operation mode of the device, where all functionality is enabled.
Low power state:
When there is no user traffic on the device, the device should switch to low power mode. This is a state in which devices
are only allowed to use a limited amount of energy to be able to power its components and respond to user activity.
Example
Take the following example:
The user switches off his computer at 20:00.
There are no other devices connected to the Technicolor Gateway.
The Technicolor Gateway switches to low power mode. This results in a considerable drop in the overall power consumption
of the Technicolor Gateway.

ECO Manager
Introduction
The Technicolor Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power
consumption:
For example:
The Technicolor Gateway
reduces the clock frequency of the central processor
when there is no or low user activity. This
lowered clock frequency will result in a lower power consumption of the Technicolor Gateway.
Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode
.
Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the Technicolor Gateway access point switches to power reduction mode, the access point is switched off and is only
power on periodically to be able to detect new clients. If new clients are detected the wireless access point is fully powered
again. This is only possible if there are no devices connected to the Technicolor Gateway.
Power reduction is disabled by default, but it is possible to enable it via the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
To enable power reduction:
1
Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
For more information, see
“Accessing the Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 29

Under
Home Network
, click

.

In the
Navigation bar
, click

.

Under
Configuration
:
Select
Power Reduction Enabled
to enable power reduction.
Clear
Power Reduction Enabled
to disable power reduction.
5
Click
Apply
.
Example
If we use the same example as in the previous section, you can see that the Technicolor Gateway is now able to further
reduce the power consumption in periods where less action is required from the Technicolor Gateway.
Enabling power reduction may have impact on the reliability of your wireless connection. This feature is intended for
advanced users only

Manually Switching Off Services to Reduce Power
Wi-Fi button
If you are not using the wireless access point of your Technicolor Gateway, you might consider to disable the wireless access
point permanently. This allows you to further reduce the power consumption.
To turn the wireless interface:
Off
, press the
Wi-Fi
button until its LED is off.
On
, press the
Wi-Fi
button until its LED is on.
Zero power consumption
If you will not be using your Technicolor Gateway for a longer time (for example: you are going on holiday), you should
consider to turn off the Technicolor Gateway. This way no energy will be consumed at all.
However, be aware that if you turn off the Technicolor Gateway,
all services provided by the Technicolor Gateway that
require access to the Internet will not be available
. For example:
No Digital TV is provided
If your set-top box is connected to your Technicolor Gateway, it will no longer be able to connect to the Internet, hence
not be able to service your TV set.
