Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C Dock, User Manual

Page: 12 / 42

The network administrator can turn on a computer from a management console by using the Wake on
LAN function. When the Wake on LAN function is enabled, many operations, such as data transfer,
software updates, and flash updates of the UEFI BIOS, can be done remotely without remote attendance.
The updating process can perform after normal working hours and on weekends, so that the users are not
interrupted during work, and the LAN traffic is kept to a minimum. It saves time and increases productivity.
Note: You can enable the PXE function, the MAC address Pass Through function, and the Wake on LAN
function through configuring the BIOS on your computer. For more information about configuring the BIOS,
refer to the user guide that comes with your computer.
