initiated remotely. For more information, see the documentation that comes
with your Ethernet adapter.
Note:
If the computer power cord is plugged into a surge protector, make
sure that when you turn off power you use the computer power
switch and not the surge protector switch. Otherwise, the Wake on
LAN feature will not work.
Alert on LAN
Your computer supports Alert on LAN technology. Alert on LAN
technology provides notification of changes in the computer system even if
the computer is turned off. Working with Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) and Wake on LAN technologies, Alert on LAN helps to manage and
monitor the hardware and software features of your computer.
Alert on LAN generates notifications when POST fails during a Wake on
LAN attempt, the computer is disconnected from the network, or when the
computer is unplugged from the electrical outlet. In models with a
chassis-intrusion detector, Alert on LAN generates notifications when the
cover has been removed. For more information about anti-intrusion
features, see “Chassis-intrusion detector” on page 32. Alert on LAN can be
integrated with network-management software such as LANClient Control
Manager
and IBM Netfinity Manager.
Remote Program Load or Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol
If your computer comes with an Ethernet adapter, a network administrator
can use Remote Program Load (RPL) or Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) to control your computer. If you use RPL in conjunction
with software such as IBM LANClient Control Manager, you can use a
feature called Hybrid RPL, which installs hybrid images (or files) on the
hard disk. Then, each time the computer starts from the network,
LANClient Control Manager recognizes your computer as a Hybrid RPL
client and a bootstrap program is downloaded to your computer hard disk.
This bootstrap program is small, which helps prevent network congestion.
Hybrid RPL avoids the network traffic associated with a standard RPL.
Remote Administration
A network administrator can use this feature to update remotely the POST
and BIOS in your computer. Network management software, such as
LANClient Control Manager, is required in order to take advantage of this
feature. Refer to “Setting Remote Administration” on page 51 for
configuration information.
