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 48
.
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 MediaAccess Gateway and automatically switches unused services to an ECO-friendly state.
For more information, see
“6.2 ECO Manager” on page 49
.
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 50

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 MediaAccess Gateway.
The MediaAccess Gateway switches to low power mode. This results in a considerable drop in the overall power
consumption of the MediaAccess Gateway.

ECO Manager
Introduction
The MediaAccess Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power
consumption:
For example:
The MediaAccess 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 MediaAccess Gateway.
Disable the USB port(s)
when they are not used
Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode
.
Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the MediaAccess 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 MediaAccess Gateway.
Power reduction is enabled by default, but it is possible to disable it via the MediaAccess Gateway GUI. To configure power
reduction:
1
Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.
For more information, see
“Accessing the MediaAccess Gateway GUI” on page 33
.

Under
Home Network
, click

In the
Navigation bar
, click
Configure
.

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 MediaAccess Gateway is now able to further
reduce the power consumption in periods where less action is required from the MediaAccess Gateway.
