Remote power-on and restart

This system value determines whether or not you will allow remote users to power-on and restart the system.

This system value provides you the ability to start the remote system by using your telephone and a modem or the SPCN signal. This means that any telephone call causes the system to restart. Even though this system value deals with restart options of your system it has security implications. Obviously you would not want someone inadvertently restarting your systems. However, if you use a remote system to administer your system you will need to allow remote restart.

See Table 2 for an overview of the remote power-on and restart system value.
