Power Switch

Ok, hopefully this is not just an ignorant question.
WHERE IS THE POWER BUTTON??
I read the instructions & inspected the unit, but do not need a power button. I notice that by cycling through the brightness button I can get the lights to turn off, but I don't think that really is powering the unit down. I'm currently in a holding pattern waiting for my number to port & don't really need the Ooma service operational until after the port is processed.
I noticed that the unit gets a little warm, and under the assumption that if I power it down it will extend the life of the unit, I'm just trying to shut it off until the port goes through.
I realize I can unplug the unit, but it seems like there would be a power button on the unit. Also, If that is the only way to power it down, if I unplug it does the Ethernet signal pass through with the unit off?
So 3 questions, actually:
1) Is there a power button?
2) By cycling the brightness button & at the point the lights are all off on the display, is the unit powered off
3) If the unit is powered off, does the Ethernet signal pass through?
Thanks Folks..
