Alert on LAN
The Alert on LAN feature provides notification of changes in the computer, even
when the computer power is turned off. Working with DMI and Wake on LAN
technologies, the Alert on LAN feature helps to manage and monitor the hardware
and software features of the computer. It generates notifications to the server of
these occurrences:
Computer disconnected from the network
Computer unplugged from the power outlet
All POST errors
Operating system or POST hang condition
Alert on LAN events are configured to be Enabled or Disabled from the LAN server
only, and not from the computer. See the LAN administrator for configuration
status information.
