Remote System Alerts
The NIC can be configured to continuously transmit a
packet to an alert target management station. If the
management station fails to receive the regularly scheduled
packet, an alert can be triggered that signals a possible
computer power loss or theft.
The NIC can also transmit a workgroup keep-alive packet
periodically while the computer is in a sleep state. This
packet prevents the computer’s workstation address from
being aged-out of switch router tables.
