If administrator's (supervisor) password is set, but you did not specify it when you started Easy-Setup, you cannot use these functions. Enabling or Disabling Wake on LAN This setting is used to enable or disable the Wake on LAN feature, which enables your computer to be powered on remotely by a network administrator from a management console. Remote network-management software, such as LCCM and NetFinity, must be used to support Wake on LAN. Notes: 1. This feature is valid only when a LAN adapter card with Wake on LAN is installed in the &dock., and its signal line and auxiliary power line are connected to the adapter. The enable or disable setting in your computer is independent of what is set for the &dock.. 2. When the Wake on LAN cables are connected to the &dock. correctly and the Wake on LAN function of your computer is "disabled" in Easy-Setup, the switch is turned on for your computer when the server sends a "wake" signal to it. Your computer's POST (Power On Self Test) recognizes the Wake on LAN status of your computer and turns the switch off a few seconds after it was turned on. This is not an error; however, the network administrator should not set Wake on LAN for LAN cards of the &dock. systems connected to ThinkPad computers that are Wake on LAN disabled. Setting Up in Easy-Setup: You can enable or disable Wake on LAN from the Easy-Setup menu. When Wake on LAN is enabled, the network administrator can power on remote machines connected on a LAN using remote network-management software. Disable the function when your computer is not under system management of the network administrator. To set this function, do either of the following: 1 Go to the Easy-Setup menu. 2 Click on the CONFIG icon. The "Configuration" window appears. 130 IBM ThinkPad 380Z Online User's Guide
