Desktop Management Interface
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a method for gathering information
about the hardware and software in your computer. In a network
environment, network administrators can use DMI to remotely monitor and
control your computer. For more information about DMI, refer to
Understanding Your Personal Computer (provided on the Software Selections
CD that comes with your computer).
Wake on LAN
The Wake on LAN feature requires a Wake on LAN network card. A
network administrator can use this feature to turn on your computer from a
remote location. When Wake on LAN is used in conjunction with
network-management software, such as Netfinity (provided on the Software
Selections CD that comes with your computer), many types of functions,
such as data transfers, software updates, and POST or BIOS updates to your
computer can be 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.
Wake on Ring
The wake on ring feature can be used to turn on your computer when a
wake on ring supported modem receives a call from the telephone line to
which it is connected. It is configured in the Configuration/Setup Utility
Program.
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) and Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) to control your computer. If you use RPL in conjunction
with software such as 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. An advantage
to Hybrid RPL is that the network traffic associated with a standard RPL is
avoided.
