MODEM RING-IN
Everyone knows that a PC system can be used as a fax machine to send or receive
fax messages. But most people still use fax machine to receive their messages
because it is not practical to have the system powered on all day long waiting for
the incoming messages. Now the problem can be solved by using this mainboard.
This mainboard can be triggered by a modem ring-in signal. When you have a
external
modem installed, you can leave the PC system power off. Whenever there
is the incoming message, the PC system will be triggered by the ring-in signal and
wake up automatically to receive the message for you. From now on, you can tell
your PC system to receive the fax message for you.
In order to use the ring-in signal to wake up your PC system, you will have to use
the
EXTERNAL MODEM
and have it connected to one of the
SERIAL PORTS
( COMA or COM B ). When the system power is off, this mainboard will continue
to detect the serial port status. When it detects the ring-in signal from the serial
port, the system power will be turned on and start to receive the incoming messages
automatically.
To enable the Modem Ring-In feature, you have to run the BIOS setup utility and
enable the “Resume by Ring or LAN” option (it is located in the “POWER
MANAGEMENT SETUP”, please refer to Section 4-7
for the settings). Having
completed the BIOS setup, you have to reboot the PC system so that BIOS can
verify the setting. (the “DMI pool data” will be verified by the BIOS when loading
the operating system). Simply speaking, shut down the PC system and then re-start
the system. The modem ring-in feature will be enabled when the operation system
has been loaded.
Note: This function is not available when using the internal MODEM card.
¨
WAKE ON LAN ( WOL )
There is a WOL connector CN10 (see page 3-8) on the mainboard which is designed
to connect to the signal from a LAN card which supports the Wake On LAN feature.
When such LAN card is installed, you may turn on the PC system from your remote
server and monitor the PC status.
