General Background :

We have the Normal Operating System environment (Normal OS) where all is normally active and we have the "made for Audio" Operating System environment that minimzes it and is named MinOS. XXHighEnd allows us to boot ino either (back and forth if necessary).

We have Unattended Playback (no GUI or anything active) which dynamically shuts of parts of the Operating System and which parts are switched on again when Playback stops / is stopped.

Parts which have been cut out in MinOS obviouly won't (need to) stop when Unattended Playback is initiated because they don't even exist. Notice that they thus also can't be started in MinOS (they are not there anywhere). If we need them or want them to be active in MinOS, we have to go to Normal OS to switch them on again due to a next boot into MinOS.
Do notice that while in Normal OS and all being On, initiating Unattended Playback will dynamically shut off what's been told (by you) to shut off and that this (all !) is switched on again when Unattended Playback stops.

Now :

The LAN settings comprise of two cooperative settings (see on the first line) :




1. Keep LAN Services ACTIVE (red). Meaning : the LAN environment is kept when booting from Normal OS into MinOS.
2. Set Persist to INACTIVE (blue). Meaning : When you go to Unattended (MinOS is implied) the LAN shuts down except for the denoted exceptions (the LAN-parts of it) like "Use Remote Desktop".

The above in different wording :
When we boot into MinOS the LAN services are not taken out hence all of the LAN will be just there.
When we start Unattended Playback the LAN is shut down (you'd want that for better SQ) because you did not tell the system to "persist" in Keeping the LAN.
Any activity requiring the LAN will start that (and shut down again if applicable).


Now we make this of it :


1. Keep LAN Services ACTIVE (red). Meaning : the LAN environment is kept when booting from Normal OS into MinOS.
2. Set Persist to ACTIVE (red). Meaning : When you go to Unattended (MinOS is implied) the LAN does not shut down.

The above in different wording :
When we boot into MinOS the LAN services are not taken out hence all of the LAN will be just there.
When we start Unattended Playback nothing changes to the status of the LAN because we told to "persist" the "keeping" state.
The LAN now will never shut down, whatever you do.
Notice that while staying in MinOS you can change the state of Persist and it will be respected (but don't change it while Unattended Playback is going on at that moment).


Again an other scenario :


1. Keep LAN Services INACTIVE (blue). Meaning : the LAN environment is cut from the OS when going from Normal OS to MinOS.
2. Set Persist to INACTIVE (blue) or ACTIVE (red) whatever you like ... it doesn't do a thing because there are no LAN services available anywhere.

The above in different wording :
When we boot into MinOS the LAN services are taken out and that can't come back, unless going to Normal OS again (where they will be "in" by standard).


The remaining lines you see speak for themselves when you read the ToolTips on them. They will related to the native LAN setting as explained above, and let's say that only when the LAN is initially On when going to MinOS, the other settings can be used to differentiate in necessary services.
