Using the Wake-On-LAN Feature

The EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card supports both Magic Packet and Link Change remote wake-up events.

Only install the Wake-On-LAN wires if your mother- board supports remote wake-up events. Improperly con- necting the wire or connecting it to a socket on the motherboard other than the designated 3-pin socket can damage your hardware.

If you plan on using the Wake-On-LAN feature of the EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card, please skip to section about the card’s Wake-On-Lan capabilities on page 46.
