About Wake-on-LAN Compatibility

Wake-On-LAN functions can be accessed in two different ways. Some moth- erboards support Wake-On-LAN features through a 3-pin connection found on the motherboard. These motherboards REQUIRE an adapter with this 3- pin connection to use the Wake-On-LAN features.

Other motherboards support Wake-On-LAN functions through the PCI slot where the LAN Card is located. Both motherboard and adapter must support this management in order to use Wake-On-LAN features.

Some mother boards support both of these types. You should refer to your computer’s (or motherboard’s) documentation to see which type, if any, your computer supports.

The EtherFast® 10/100 LAN Card (LNE100TX v5) manages Wake-On-LAN through the PCI slot where it is inserted. So, if your motherboard supports Wake-On-LAN using the 3-pin connection, it will not be able to access Wake- On-LAN features through the LAN Card. If you have an earlier release of this product, the adapter may be the LNE100TX v4, which has the 3-pin con- nection. Go to www.linksys.com for more information on the LNE100TX v4.
