Remote LAN Wakeup

Remote LAN Wakeup
Remote LAN Wakeup capability is a key feature of a centrally
managed PC environment. This technology enables networked
PCs to be “woken up” from a sleep or powered-off state so they
can be managed from a central location, at any time of the day or
night.
To employ Remote LAN Wakeup, three elements are required:
• Desktop management software that can send a “wake-up”
packet to a PC.
• A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC motherboard that can supply
low-level auxiliary power to a network card when the PC is
powered off.
• A Wake-On-LAN network card that can recognize a wake-up
packet and signal the PC to power up.
A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC is never completely powered off, it
maintains a low-level auxiliary power supply to the motherboard.
Even if the PC is powered off the network card is always active
and monitoring the network. When a wake-up packet is detected,
the card signals the motherboard to power up the PC. With the PC
powered on, maintenance and other support tasks can be
performed.
Installation
Warning:
Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the card,
avoid touching its electrical components and always touch the metal
chassis of your computer before handling the card.
1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove
the computer’s cover.
2. Select an unused PCI bus-master slot and remove its
protective bracket.
