processes that may be running. If the temperature increases too quickly and
OMCI does not poll the system in time, it will not generate a shutdown
message and the system will not shut down cleanly.
OMCI also contains a start delay for the polling intervals. This determines how
long after the operating system loads, OMCI starts checking for the alert status.
An alert may be missed if the start delay is set too high.
For instructions on setting polling intervals and enabling or disabling alerts
for these devices, see the documentation for your systems management
application program.

OMCI supports remote system shutdown and restart.
Remote Wake-Up Configurability
OMCI supports configuration of remote wake-up settings. Remote wake-up is
a function of the client system and NIC.
WfM Version 2.0 Compliance
OMCI is compliant with the Intel
®
Wired for Management (WfM) 2.0
