APM (Advanced Power Management) is a standard in power management developed by Intel and Microsoft, which allows the operating system to control the amount of power sent to devices. Select EMAC products allow for APM Sleep, a command that puts the device into a lower power "deep sleep" state and minimizes the device's power consumption.

From the command line, use command:

apmsleep +[hh]:[mm]

or

apmsleep [hh]:[mm]


where hh is hours and mm is minutes, to suspend for hh:mm amount of time
Alternatively the + can be left off to specify a time when the device would awaken. "apmsleep 08:00" would suspend until 8am

After the given time, the device will resume normal operation and power consumption.
