Network communication apparatus provided with auto-shutdown function, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

A network communication apparatus that includes a network port for connecting to a telephone line and a communication unit that communicates with an external apparatus via the telephone line, comprising:

• an auto-shutdown unit configured to execute shutdown processing for stopping supply of electric power to the network communication apparatus when an auto-shutdown shifting time period elapses without receiving a user's operation;
• a line detection unit configured to detect whether or not the network port is connected to the telephone line;
• a selection unit configured to select, based on a user's operation, whether or not to cause said auto-shutdown unit to execute the shutdown processing;
• and
• a notification unit configured to notify a user that the shutdown processing cannot be executed, when it is detected by said line detection unit that the network port is changed from a state not connected to the telephone line to a state connected to the telephone line, in a case where to cause said auto-shutdown unit to execute the shutdown processing has been selected by said selection unit.
