Alert on LAN Your computer supports Alert on LAN technology. Alert on LAN technology provides notification of changes in the computer system even if the computer is turned off. Working with Desktop Management Interface (DMI) and Wake on LAN technologies, Alert on LAN helps to manage and monitor the hardware and software features of your computer. Alert on LAN generates notifications when the internal computer components have been removed, POST fails during a Wake on LAN attempt, or the computer is disconnected from the network or unplugged from the electrical outlet. Alert on LAN can be integrated with network-management software such as LANClient Control Manager™ and IBM Netfinity Manager. 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 the remote administration feature to update remotely 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. Refer to "Setting Remote Administration" on page 49 for configuration information. LANClient Control Manager LANClient Control Manager (LCCM) is a graphical, server-based program that aids in system deployment by enabling unattended installation of operating systems, complete software images, device drivers, and BIOS updates to remote systems. Used with Wake on LAN, LCCM can remotely start up your system from a powered-off state, which means that installation can be done while the system is not being used. When you Chapter 3.

Alert on LAN
Your computer supports Alert on LAN technology.
Alert on LAN
technology provides notification of changes in the computer system even if
the computer is turned off.
Working with Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) and Wake on LAN technologies, Alert on LAN helps to manage and
monitor the hardware and software features of your computer.
Alert on LAN generates notifications when the internal computer
components have been removed, POST fails during a Wake on LAN
attempt, or the computer is disconnected from the network or unplugged
from the electrical outlet.
Alert on LAN can be integrated with
network-management software such as LANClient Control Manager
and
IBM Netfinity Manager.
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 the remote administration feature to
update remotely 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.
Refer to “Setting

49 for configuration information.
