LAN Function
This section covers important points and the correct procedure for setting up the
LAN (Local Area Network) function.
The following provides a simple explanation about how to perform network setup in
order to connect to a LAN.
Network connection settings can be changed by going to the [Control Panel] and
clicking [Network and Internet]
[View network status and tasks]
[Change adapter
settings].
For more detailed information, please refer to Windows help.
The following step allows you to change settings such as the computer name.
You can change settings related to the connected network and change the name of
your computer as it is displayed on the network by opening the [Control Panel] and
clicking [System and Security]
[System], and then selecting [Change settings] under
[Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings].
For more detailed information, please refer to Windows help.
This is all you need to do to correctly setup your LAN.
Remote Power On (WoL - Wake on LAN) (hereinafter referred to as "Wol") can allow you
to do the following.
• Remotely turn your computer on after the power is turned off.
• Remotely wake up your computer after sleep or hibernate.
If you configure your computer to allow WoL, the LAN adapter stays active, even when
the computer power is off.
A special packet (Magic Packet) that instructs your computer to turn on can be
transmitted from a remote administrator's PC. When this packet is received by the
computer's dedicated controller, it triggers the power to be turned on.
This allows you to be able to remotely turn your computer's power on or wake it up from
sleep or hibernate from an administrator's PC when your computer has a LAN
connection.
The following steps can be used to configure your computer to allow WoL from when
the power is turned off.
1
Turn the power on and immediately press <F2> key several times.
The BIOS setup utility will then be displayed.
2
In [Network] of the [Config] menu, set [Wake On LAN] to [AC Only] or [AC
and Battery].
3
Press the <F10> key.
4
Confirm that [Yes] is selected and then press <Enter>.
These setting values are saved, the BIOS setup utility will finish, and your computer
will restart.
Configuration is now complete.
Specify the following settings in [Device Manager]
[Network adapters].
Double click [Network adapters], and double click the displayed LAN adapter.
Check the following items in the [Power Management] tab.
• [Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power]
• [Allow this device to wake the computer]
• [Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer]
Configuration is now complete.

• In order to enable WoL, it is necessary to install special software on the
administrator's PC to allow sending of Magic Packets.
• When using the WoL, disable the "Fast Startup" function. For more detailed
information, please refer to "Disabling the "Fast Startup" function" (p.22).
• It is not possible to use WoL in cases where the previous system shutdown (power
off, sleep, or hibernate) was not correctly completed. If this is the case, please turn
the power back on, restart Windows, and once again perform a system shutdown
using the correct procedure.
• WoL cannot be used with a hub that only supports a speed of 1000 Mbps. Please
use a hub that supports 10M/100M/1000M Auto-negotiation.
• When using WoL, please ensure that the AC adapter is plugged into your computer
when in the sleep, hibernation, or power-off state.
