Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/ WOL, including its hardware and software components. The BayStack 21 PCI 10/ 100 Adapter w/WOL complements the BayStack 70-Series 10/100 Ethernet Switches and BayStack 60-Series 10/100 Ethernet Hubs.

Note: BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/WOL is sometimes also referred to as the BayStack 21 network card in this document.

BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/WOL Overview

You can install the BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/WOL in the workstations, desktops, or servers of Microsoft® Windows® 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT® users. The network card provides connectivity to the network using the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature, an open standard Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) function. The standard provides power management support systems through hardware and operating system integration. The motherboard of the workstation must have an ACPI architecture to support this feature.

The WOL feature allows you to turn on a remote workstation. When installed in a workstation that has been turned off, the BayStack 21 network card monitors LAN traffic for valid wake-up frames. When the network card receives the correctly addressed wake-up frame, it sends a signal to the motherboard to turn on the workstation.
