Chapter 1. System Overview
Other Features
The following features are supported by the PC 300GL (6272 and 6282). Optional hardware is required
for these features.
Wake on LAN
The power supply of the computer supports Wake on LAN. Wake on LAN allows the computer to turn on
when a specific LAN frame is passed to the PC over the LAN.
To use Wake on LAN, the computer must be equipped with a network subsystem that also supports Wake
on LAN. The integrated Ethernet feature provided with some computers supports Wake on LAN. If IBM
has equipped your computer with an Ethernet or token ring adapter, it also supports Wake on LAN.
The menu used for setting the Wake on LAN feature is found in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Wake Up On Ring
All models are configurable to turn on the computer after a ring is detected from an external or internal
modem. The menu used for setting the Wake Up On Ring feature is found in the Configuration/Setup
Utility program. Two options control this feature:
Serial Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an external modem connected to the serial
port.
Modem Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an internal modem.
