10/100 Network In a Box

Installing and Configuring Wake-On-LAN

Overview

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

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

Magic Packet An administrator can send a “wake-up” packet to a specific PC on the network. That computer then boots up, allowing the administrator to access the PC’s drives. After the work is done, the PC goes into a sleep mode (using about 10% of the normal amount of power) or shuts off com- pletely, depending on the management software being used.

Link Change is a remote wake up event that is triggered by any change in the EtherFast card’s link state. If you have Wake-On-LAN networking set up on the PC, plugging an active network cable into the LAN Card will cause the PC to automatically turn itself on.

Motherboard Support

WOL-compatible motherboards can offer support for a number of different Wake-On-LAN interfaces. The EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card is compatible with PME and RWU-high. Consult the motherboard documentation that came with your PC to find out which type of WOL interface your computer will use to communicate with the network card. In some cases, you may need to enable the WOL support in your PC’s BIOS.

Note: Some PME-sup- porting motherboards may not require the WOL wire to be con- nected. Check your PC’s documentation for more information.
