About WOL (for WOL model only)
WOL (Wake-On-LAN) is an ACPI function
allowing a powered OFF computer to be
powered ON from a remote station. ACPI
(Advanced Configuration Power Interface) is a
new technology and an open industry
specification to provide power management
support systems through hardware and operating
system cooperation. To use the WOL feature,
the NIC must be WOL capable and the
motherboard of the PC (for which the card is
installed) must be of ACPI architecture.
While the powered OFF computer sleeps, the
WOL NIC monitors LAN tra ffic for valid
Wake-up frames. The NIC will determine
whether a received Wake-up frame is addressed
to the PC. If so, the NIC will send a signal to
the motherboard to power ON the computer.
What is the utility in the WOL card?
• ”I forgot a document and I'm out of town?”
Send a Wake-up signal to your computer
and transfer the needed file to your location.
• Initiate long routines and reports before you
get to work.
• Transfer files when the network traffic is
low (during late hours).
• Power ON your PC before you arrive to
work.
