When connected to a 100Mbps/1Gbps wired LAN , a
message appears informing the user of connection to
a 10Mbps/100Mbps wired LAN when the computer
wakes from sleep mode. This happens because
restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the
network is restored, the computer will be connected to
the 100Mbps/1Gbps LAN.
•
When the system is running on battery power, it may
take a few seconds for the connection to be established
when connecting a LAN cable. This is the result of
power saving features designed to reduce battery
consumption.
•
When the system is running on battery power, the
speed of a wired LAN is decreased automatically
to reduce battery consumption. In this case, a
1Gbps/100Mbps LAN would function at the speed of a
100Mbps/10Mbps connection.
Wake on LAN (WOL) feature
Activate the system remotely from sleep mode when a signal,
such as a ping or magic packet command, is received via a wired
LAN.
