Setting Up System-Management Features This section describes how to configure the network interface in your computer. You can change the settings of system-management features in Easy-Setup. Easy-Setup contains the following functions: Enabling or disabling Wake on LAN Automatic power-on startup sequence Enabling or disabling Flash (POST/BIOS) update from the network If administrator's (supervisor) password is set, but you did not specify it when you started Easy-Setup, you cannot use these functions. Enabling or Disabling Wake on LAN This setting is used to enable or disable the Wake on LAN feature, which enables your computer to be powered on remotely by a network administrator from a management console. Remote network-management software, such as LCCM and NetFinity, must be used to support Wake on LAN. Notes: 1. This feature is valid only when a LAN adapter card with Wake on LAN is installed in the enhanced port replicator, and its signal line and auxiliary power line are connected to the adapter. The enable or disable setting in your computer is independent of what is set for the enhanced port replicator. 2. When the Wake on LAN cables are connected to the enhanced port replicator correctly and the Wake on LAN function of your computer is "disabled" in Easy-Setup, the switch is turned on for your computer when the server sends a "wake" signal to it. Your computer's POST (Power On Self Test) recognizes the Wake on LAN status of your computer and turns the switch off a few seconds after it was turned on. This is not an error; however, the network administrator should not set Wake on LAN for LAN cards of the enhanced port replicator systems connected to ThinkPad computers that are Wake on LAN disabled. Setting Up in Easy-Setup You can enable or disable Wake on LAN from the Easy-Setup menu. When Wake on LAN is enabled, the network administrator can power Chapter 8. Using System Management 135

Setting Up System-Management Features
This section describes how to configure the network interface in your
computer.
You can change the settings of system-management
features in Easy-Setup.
Easy-Setup contains the following functions:
Enabling or disabling Wake on LAN
Automatic power-on startup sequence
Enabling or disabling Flash (POST/BIOS) update from the
network
If administrator's (supervisor) password is set, but you did not specify
it when you started Easy-Setup, you cannot use these functions.
Enabling or Disabling Wake on LAN
This setting is used to enable or disable the Wake on LAN feature,
which enables your computer to be powered on remotely by a
network administrator from a management console.
Remote
network-management software, such as LCCM and NetFinity, must
be used to support Wake on LAN.
Notes:
1. This feature is valid only when a LAN adapter card with Wake on
LAN is installed in the enhanced port replicator, and its signal
line and auxiliary power line are connected to the adapter.
The
enable or disable setting in your computer is independent of
what is set for the enhanced port replicator.
2. When the Wake on LAN cables are connected to the enhanced
port replicator correctly and the Wake on LAN function of your
computer is “disabled” in Easy-Setup, the switch is turned on for
your computer when the server sends a “wake” signal to it.
Your
computer's POST (Power On Self Test) recognizes the Wake on
LAN status of your computer and turns the switch off a few
seconds after it was turned on.
This is not an error; however,
the network administrator should not set Wake on LAN for LAN
cards of the enhanced port replicator systems connected to
ThinkPad computers that are Wake on LAN disabled.
Setting Up in Easy-Setup
You can enable or disable Wake on LAN from the Easy-Setup menu.
When Wake on LAN is enabled, the network administrator can power
Chapter 8.
