1.5 Wake on LAN and remote power cycling
By default, the DXP4 supports Wake on LAN (WoL), allowing
users to wake up the host from standby. To power down or
power cycle the host computer from a remote zero client
requires the installation of a Remote Power Cable (RPC).
There are two options for setting up WoL depending on whether
your system supports it directly or not:
•
;
•
WoL not supported - RPC cable required
1.5.1 WoL supported
Most computers support WoL, though it may not be enabled by
default. When WoL is enabled on the host computer, end-users
can wake up the host computer automatically when they
connect to it from a remote zero client.
WoL requires appropriate BIOS, network card and operating
system support. Refer to your host computer documentation for
details about enabling this feature.
Example:
To enable WoL for Windows 8 computers, you must
edit the Magic Packet and power management properties of
the appropriate network adapter.
1.5.2 WoL not supported - RPC cable required
For an alternative setup, you can install a Remote Power Control
(RPC) cable assembly to interpose the DXP4 between the host
computer’s power switch and the associated motherboard
header (see
3.3.2 Connect Remote Power Cable (Optional)
Specifically, connect the RPC cable to the RPC socket on the
This allows users to power cycle the host computer from a
remote zero client. Unlike the WoL setup, the RPC setup also
allows users to power cycle, power up and fully power down the
remote PC (for example, if it has blue-screened).
After connecting the RPC cable assembly:
•
users of Amulet Hotkey DXR zero clients can press the RPC
switch to power cycle the host computer;
•
users of Amulet Hotkey DXZ zero clients can use the On
Screen Display (OSD) to power cycle the host computer.
