Q: The Device always reports "Power-State: Off", even if it is turned on

The Power-Check works by sending a Ping to the target device. On some devices, especially servers, the ping-reply is disabled by default in the firewall. To enable this option, do the following:
- Press Window + R to open the "Run" Window.
- Type "wf.msc" and click [Enter] to open the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" screen.
- On the left, click on "Inbound Rules".
- On every Rule that says "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)", right-click and select Enable Rule.
