AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation Guide

and allows the network adapter to wake up the system when an event, such as a ping or an ARP request, is received.

5. Click OK.

WOL Speed The WOL Speed property sets the speed at which the network adapter connects to the network while the adapter is in Wake on LAN (WOL) mode. On Windows 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 systems, the default speed for WOL mode is 100 Mb. This is the only speed available for an AT-29xx Series adapter running the Windows 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.

The WOL speed is limited to 100 Mb due to power limitations on the PCI bus. The WOL feature is supported only on copper Gigabit NICs where the speed must be reduced from 1 Gb to 100 Mb for the NIC power consumption to be below the maximum power provided by the PCI bus.

On the Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP systems, this property is available on the AT-2972/T2 adapter only. By default, the WOL Speed property is set to Auto. However, there are several additional settings available.

To specify the WOL speed on a Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP system, perform the following procedure:

1.For Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP systems, access the System Properties Dialog Box. See “Modifying Configuration Properties” on page 39.

2.Click the Advanced tab.

The Advanced tab is shown in Figure 21 on page 56.

3.From the Properties list, select WOL Speed.

4.From the Values list, select one of the following:

ˆ10 Mb. Sets the speed to 10 Mbit/s. This is the network speed when the system is in a standby mode awaiting a wake-up frame.

ˆ100 Mb. Sets the speed to 100 Mbit/s.

ˆAuto (default). Sets the speed for optimum network connection.

5.Click OK.

6.If prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

Although it is not necessary to reboot the system for new adapter properties to take effect, rebooting is recommended to reinitialize all registers.
