Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown
If your computer has an optional network card installed, it may support
the Compaq Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown functions. These
functions allow a system administrator to power on and power off a
client computer from a remote location, supported by PC LAN
management tools.
Third-party software tools are required to remotely distribute
software.
Remote Wakeup allows the network interface controller to continue
functioning, even when power to the computer has been turned off.
The computer continues to consume a small amount of
electricity even after you turn it off. Only when you disconnect
the power cord from the electrical outlet does the computer
stop consuming electricity.
To enable Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown, complete the
following steps:
1. Double-click the Network Icon, located in the Control Panel.
2. Double-click the appropriate network controller.
3. Click the Advanced Properties tab.
4. Select Remote Wakeup.
5. Change the value to ON.
6. Click OK to save and apply changes, then click OK to exit the
Network dialog.
For more information on using Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown,
refer to the online Remote Management Administrators Guide. The
Remote Management Administrators Guide is included with the Remote
Management Setup Utilities, and is available on the Compaq Web site
at www.compaq.com.
NIC Alert
The NIC Alert function enables desktop PCs to send an immediate alert
to the network administrator when there is a hardware or operating
system failure, or evidence of tampering, even if the system is powered
off or the operating system is not yet started.
