   Scheduled power-off	Specifies whether the endpoint automatically powers off at the specified time. NOTE: If you enable this function, you must also set Scheduled power-off time (hh:mm).	The default value is Disable.
   Scheduled power-off time (hh:mm)	Specifies the time when the endpoint automatically powers off. The value format depends on the value set for Time format.	The default value is 0:0, which corresponds to the 24-hour value for Time format.
   Wake-on-LAN	Specifies whether you can remotely wake up a standby or sleeping endpoint by sending Wake on LAN (WOL) messages. NOTE: A standby endpoint indicates that the power switch on the endpoint's rear panel is in the ON position and that the endpoint can be turned off by pressing the power key on the remote control.	The default value is Disable.
   Control TV sleep mode	Specifies whether you can turn on or off the display connected to the endpoint.
