To configure the adapter, continue with the procedures specific to your
operating system on the pages which
follow.
Enable the Wake-on LAN
Power Jumper (JP26)
In order for the Wake On LAN (WOL)
feature to work correctly, the adapter
must be connected to a continuous
power source. This allows the PRO/
100 adapter to “listen to” the network even when the computer is
turned off. The WOL power jumper (JP26) is enabled when the jumper
is connected or closed (ON). Warning: As always, turn off and unplug
power to the computer before setting the WOL jumper. The WOL
connector on your motherboard is live when the computer is plugged in
to a power outlet. Failure to do so could damage the adapter or com-
puter. Also, be sure that your ATX power supply is 2.0 compliant or
better. This level of quality is required because the standby voltage for
WOL is 800 mAmps.
Using Wake-on LAN
The Wake-on LAN feature operates according to a published specifi-
cation. In simple terms, the specification allows designers to build
network adapters that are capable of “listening to” network activity
even when the computer is turned off. WOL adapters have a special
low power standby mode that is active when the rest of the computer is
without power. The adapter will respond to a special “wake-up” packet
sent by another computer or network device. Typically this wake-up
packet causes the adapter to signal the computer to power up and run a
pre-defined program.
The wake up packet structure and behavior is defined in the WOL
JP26
