Intel Responsiveness Technologies - Dell Setup Guide

If the Smart Connect wireless device does not find a network connection

while in sleep mode, the Rapid Start timer will put the system into a lower-

power state to save battery.

NOTE:

If Rapid Start is enabled, the Smart Connect will automatically send

the system into Rapid Start low-power mode between the hours configured in

the "Advanced" tab extended power savings options.

Wireless Radio Disable Switch (some systems): Disabling wireless

networking by means of the mechanical wireless disable switch or software

wireless disable in Windows will temporarily pause operation of Smart

Connect. This allows platform to operate in an "airplane mode", for travel,

without permanently disabling the Smart Connect feature. When the

physical wireless network switch or setting is re-enabled, Smart Connect

will resume normal functionality.

Using Net Detect: Some platforms support an additional Smart Connect

feature known as Net Detect, when equipped with specific Intel wireless

devices (WLAN). The Net Detect feature will automatically wake when a

"known" network is detected. The Net Detect feature keeps track of past

network connections, and will prevent unnecessary wake events until a

connection can be re-established. This can improve battery life. The

Net Detect feature will automatically be disabled during Extended Power

Savings hours. Net Detect may not be available on all systems at launch.

Using Quick Connect: Some platforms support an additional

Smart Connect feature known as Quick Connect, when equipped with

specific Dell wireless devices (WWAN).The Quick Connect feature keeps

the network connection partially active in a low power mode while the

system is in sleep state, allowing for faster access to network when the

system wakes. Quick Connect may not be available on all systems at

launch.
