The N-GXE-xx-02 NIC supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL) Wake from sleep (S1 and S3). Wake-on-LAN (WOL) is a hardware/software solution allowing a computer to be woken up remotely. Being able to power up a remote computer lets an administrator perform off-hours maintenance at a remote site without having to send a technician. Computers with ACPI support many power states. Each state sets a different level of power, from fully powered (S0) up to completely powered down (S5), with partial levels of power in each intermediate state (S1, S3, S4). Below is a summary of the power states: • S0 - On and fully operational. • S1 - System is in low-power mode (Sleep mode). The CPU clock stops, but RAM powers on and refreshes. • S3 - Suspend to RAM (Standby mode). Most components shut down except RAM. • S4 - Suspend to disk (Hibernate mode). The memory contents swap to the disk drive, and then reload into RAM when the system wakes. • S5 - Power off. ACPI aware operating systems support remote wake-up from Standby mode (S3) or Hibernate mode (S4). The Intel Support article Remote Wake up Basics for Intel® Ethernet Products describes how to configure remote wake up on your computer.

Wake On LAN (WOL)
The N-GXE-xx-02 NIC supports Full Wake-on-LAN (Advanced Power Management (APM) Support,
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification v2.0c, and Magic Packet Wake-up
enable)
.
The N-GXE-xx-02 NIC supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL) Wake from sleep (
S1
and
S3
).
Wake-on-LAN (WOL) is a hardware/software solution allowing a computer to be woken up remotely.
Being able to power up a remote computer lets an administrator perform off-hours maintenance at a
remote site without having to send a technician.
Computers with ACPI support many power states. Each state sets a different level of power, from fully
powered (S0) up to completely powered down (S5), with partial levels of power in each intermediate state
(S1, S3, S4). Below is a summary of the power states:
S0 - On and fully operational.
S1
- System is in low-power mode (
Sleep
mode). The CPU clock stops, but RAM powers on and
refreshes.
S3
- Suspend to RAM (
Standby
mode). Most components shut down except RAM.
S4 - Suspend to disk (
Hibernate
mode). The memory contents swap to the disk drive, and then
reload into RAM when the system wakes.
S5 - Power off.
ACPI aware operating systems support remote wake-up from Standby mode (S3) or Hibernate mode
(S4). The Intel Support article
Remote Wake up Basics for Intel® Ethernet Products
describes how to
configure remote wake up on your computer. See also the
