VIA 693/693A Twin Processor Mainboard
INSTALLATION
2-4
When you have a
external
modem installed, you can leave the PC system power
off. Whenever there is the incoming message, the PC system will be triggered by
the ring-in signal and wake up automatically to receive the message for you. From
now on, you can tell your PC system to receive the fax message for you.
In order to use the ring-in signal to wake up your PC system, you will have to use
the
EXTERNAL MODEM
and have it connected to one of the
SERIAL PORTS
( COMA or COM B ) on the mainboard. When the mainboard detects the ring-in
signal from the serial port, the system power will be turned on and start to receive
the incoming messages automatically. ( you need to have the software like Award
Zero-Volt Data-Suspend Utility so that you can use the fax utility to receive the
incoming fax message ).
To enable the Modem Ring-In feature, you have to run the BIOS setup utility and
enable the “Power On by Ring / LAN” option (it is located in the “POWER
MANAGEMENT SETUP”, please refer to Section 4.7
for the settings).
Note: This function is not available when using the internal MODEM card.
¨
WAKE ON LAN ( WOL )
There is a WOL connector CN16 on the mainboard which is designed to connect to
the signal from a LAN card which supports the Wake On LAN feature. When such
LAN card is installed, you may turn on the PC system from the remote server and
monitor the PC status. To enable this feature, you will have to use the BIOS setup
utility to enable the “Resume by Ring or LAN” in the BIOS setup program.
Note: This function will be disabled if you turn off the power before the system
can verify the DMI pool data.
2.3
POWER OFF THE PC SYSTEM
There are two ways to power off the system. They are “Shut Down by Power Button”
and “ Shut Down by OS”. (such as Windows® 95 and Windows® 98, you can choose
the
Shut Down
from the file menu and the system will be powered off immediately ).
