Remote Wake-Up
Remote Wake-Up provides the ability to remotely power-on
a network computer for after-hours administration. When
the PC is in sleep mode and receives a wake-up packet
(Magic Packet frame) through the LAN, the NIC turns on
the power to the PC. Remote Wake-Up also requires using
a desktop management application that is able to generate
a Magic Packet Remote Wake-Up signal.
If the computer complies with PCI 2.2, Remote Wake-Up is
automatically enabled through the PCI bus. If the computer
complies with PCI 2.1, Remote Wake-Up support is
enabled by connecting a Remote Wake-Up cable from the
NIC’s Remote Wake-Up (RWU) connector
to a 3-pin Remote Wake-Up connector on the computer
motherboard.
Remote Wake-Up Requirements
The following conditions are required to use Remote
Wake-Up:
■ Management application that supports Remote
Wake-Up
■ BIOS that supports Remote Wake-Up
The NIC provides a network connection with or without
the Remote Wake-Up cable installed.
