Wake-On-LAN

Once your jumpers are set, be sure to write down the MAC address of the network card. It is either silkscreened on the card itself or it is noted on a sticker attached to the card. If no MAC address is given with the card, you can either run the card’s diagnostics (page 59), or run one of the programs described in the next section. Install the card and continue with the driver setup as usual.

Sending a Magic Packet

In order to use the WOL feature of the EtherFast LAN Card, you need to know the MAC address of the card. If you don’t know the MAC address, go to Start, Run, and then type winipcgf. If you are using NT, go to a command prompt, then type ipconig /all. In both cases, the MAC address will be displayed.

1.Turn off the PC on which you want to test the WOL feature. Go to another PC on the network and log in.

2.Go to an MS-DOS prompt (click on Start, Run, then type command and hit Enter) and insert the driver diskette. Type a:\ACPI\WOL_SET. The program will then ask for the destination of the magic packet. Enter the EtherFast LAN Card’s MAC address.

3.Check to make sure that the PC has woken up.

Testing Link Change

This test will see if your PC responds to a change in the network link state by waking up. Use a configured PC that is on an active network link.

1.Turn your PC off and disconnect it from the network either by turning off the hub or switch or by disconnect- ing the network cable form the LAN card.

2.Wait about ten seconds, then plug the cable back in or turn the hub on. The PC should wake up.
