Wake up from LAN
This is a function to automatically power the computer on from a network server when
the computer is in the standby or hibernation mode. To use this function, it is necessary
to have a network environment that accommodates Wake up from LAN.
To use this function:
1 Windows 2000
Select [Device Manager] in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [System] - [Hard-
ware].
Windows XP
Select [Device Manager] in [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Mainte-
nance] - [System] - [Hardware].
2 Select [Realtek RTL8139/810X Family Fast Ethernet NIC] from [Network adapt-
ers].
3 Select [Action] - [Properties].
4 Select [Power Management], add the check mark for [Allow this device to bring the
computer out of standby.] and [Allow the computer to turn off this device to save
power.], then select [OK].
Be sure to connect the AC adaptor, and enable the supply of power.
Make settings to allow the use of a Local Area Network.
The computer will not “wake up” if the LAN cable is disconnected and recon-
nected.
When using the Wake up from LAN function, delete the check mark for the follow-
ing:
Windows 2000
[Prompt for password when computer goes off standby] in [Start] - [Settings] -
[Control Panel] - [Power Options] - [Advanced]
Windows XP
[Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby] in [start] - [Control
Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] - [Advanced]
The Wake up from LAN function will not operate when the computer has been
shut down.
This works irrespective of the [Wake up from LAN] setting of the Setup Utility.
