Chapter 1. System Overview Other Features The following features may be supported by the PC 300GL (Types 6275 and 6285) and PC 300PL (Types 6862 and 6892). Wake on LAN The power supply of the computer supports the Wake on LAN feature. With the Wake on LAN feature, the computer can be turned on when a specific LAN frame is passed to the PC over the LAN. To use the Wake on LAN feature, the computer must be equipped with a network subsystem that supports Wake on LAN. The menu used for setting the Wake on LAN feature is found in the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. Wake Up on Ring All models are configurable to turn on the computer after a ring is detected from an external or internal modem. The menu used for setting the Wake Up on Ring feature is found in the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. Two options control this feature: Serial Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an external modem connected to the serial port. Modem Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an internal modem. Alert on LAN The PC 300PL are first equipped with Alert on LAN, a product of the IBM/Intel Advanced Manageability Alliance. Alert on LAN can notify you when a system has been tampered with or removed from the network. This new feature is part of the IBM AssetCare package, which also includes other innovations such as SMART Reaction data protection software. Asset ID PC 300PL (Types 6862 and 6892) models are configurable to identify assets. The menu used for setting the Asset ID feature is found in the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. Network Enablement PC 300PL computers PC 300PL (Types 6862 and 6892) are enabled to support management over a network. The following is a list of functions that are supported: Selectable startup sequence Selectable Automatic Power On Startup Sequence Update POST/BIOS from network Wake on LAN CMOS Save/Restore utility program CMOS setup over LAN Alert on LAN Wake Up on Ring Chapter 1.
