1-4 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation is a mechanism that uses Advanced
Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power up a sleeping workstation on the
network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a specific packet
of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to thenode on the network. For
additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can be added to the
Magic Packet that requires a password to power up the sleeping workstation. When the
LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power can be shut down
leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power recondition.
The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote Wake-On-LAN mode
of operation-It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet. If a Magic Packet
is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card wake up the system. If the
Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to the Magic Packet is also
verified prior to waking up the system.
CAUTION :
It needs to use with the ATX power supply revision 2.1 ( which can deliver
+5V standby ±5% at 720mA ) and the LAN card supports WOL function with
INTEL protocol.
