1-11 WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY

Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer through a

network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in network interface card

(NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote wakeup connector on the NIC

must be connected to the onboard Wake on LAN technology connector. The NIC

monitors network traffic at the MII interface; upon detecting a Magic Packet, the

NIC asserts a wakeup signal that powers up the computer. To access this feature

uses the Wake on LAN technology connector.

*

CAUTION

For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be capable of

delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate standby current when

implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power supply.
