updates, and POST or BIOS updates to your computer can be initiated remotely. For more information, see the documentation that comes with your Ethernet adapter. Note: If the computer power cord is plugged into a surge protector, make sure that when you turn off power you use the computer power switch and not the surge protector switch. Otherwise, the Wake on LAN feature will not work. Remote Program Load or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol If your computer comes with an Ethernet adapter, a network administrator can use Remote Program Load (RPL) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to control your computer. If you use RPL in conjunction with software such as IBM LANClient Control Manager, you can use a feature called Hybrid RPL, which installs hybrid images (or files) on the hard disk. Then, each time the computer starts from the network, LANClient Control Manager recognizes your computer as a Hybrid RPL client and a small bootstrap program is downloaded to your computer hard disk. Hybrid RPL avoids the network traffic associated with a standard RPL. Remote Administration A network administrator can use this feature to remotely update the POST and BIOS in your computer. Network management software, such as LANClient Control Manager, is required in order to take advantage of this feature. See "Setting Remote Administration" on page 34 for configuration information. LANClient Control Manager (LCCM) LANClient Control Manager is a graphical, server-based program that aids in system deployment by allowing mass unattended system installation of operating systems, complete software images, device drivers, and BIOS updates. Used with Wake on LAN, LCCM can remotely start up your system from a powered-off state, which means all this can be done while the system is not being used. If you have purchased an IBM PC, LCCM is available for downloading at no additional charge (Internet access fees excepted). For more information or to download this software go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/desktop/lccm on the World Wide Web. System Migration Assistant (SMA) System Migration Assistant (SMA) delivers wizard-like functionality to help administrators remotely transfer configurations, profile settings, printer drivers, and files from an IBM or non-IBM PC to supported IBM systems. If you have purchased an IBM computer, SMA is available for downloading at no additional charge (Internet access fees excepted). 22 User Guide
