OMMUNICATIONS
Your computer comes network ready, which means that it has
an embedded network controller and preinstalled network
device drivers. Access to a computer network immediately
increases your productivity potential. Once your network
connection is active, you can share resources such as a printer,
exchange information from computer to computer, and run
common software programs.
The Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX Embedded UTP Controller
automatically senses the data throughput speed of the network,
10Base-T or 100Base-TX, and configures itself appropriately.
100 Base-TX operation requires the use of Category 5
UTP cable with an RJ-45 network connection.
The controller also features Remote Wakeup, which allows the
system administrator to power on a client computer from a
remote location, through the use of supported PC LAN
management tools.
Remote Wakeup support is available only when using an
RJ-45 network connection.
For more information on Remote Wakeup, refer to the
Power Management section of Chapter 2, “Understanding
and Using Intelligent Manageability,” or to the online
Remote Management Administrators Guide.
The
Remote
Management Administrators Guide
is included with the
Remote Management Administration Tools, and is
available on the
Support Software CD for Compaq
Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products
or at the
Compaq Web Site at http://www.compaq.com.
