Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown If your computer has an optional network card installed, it may support the Compaq Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown functions. These functions allow a system administrator to power on and power off a client computer from a remote location, supported by PC LAN
management tools. Third-party software tools are required to remotely distribute software. Remote Wakeup allows the network interface controller to continue
functioning, even when power to the computer has been turned off. The computer continues to consume a small amount of electricity even after you turn it off. Only when you disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet does the computer stop consuming electricity. To enable Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown, complete the following steps: 1. Double-click the Network Icon, located in the Control Panel. 2. Double-click the appropriate network controller. 3. Click the Advanced Properties tab. 4. Select Remote Wakeup. 5. Change the value to ON. 6. Click OK to save and apply changes, then click OK to exit the Network dialog. For more information on using Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown, refer to the online Remote Management Administrators Guide. The Remote Management Administrators Guide is included with the Remote Management Setup Utilities, and is available on the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com. NIC Alert The NIC Alert function enables desktop PCs to send an immediate alert to the network administrator when there is a hardware or operating system failure, or evidence of tampering, even if the system is powered off or the operating system is not yet started.
