Wake on LAN
Toshiba offers IT managers best-of-breed remote systems
management capabilities with the incorporation of industry
standard technologies such as Wake on LAN. Wake on LAN is a
technology that enables IT managers to remotely manage network
PCs, even if they have been turned off. Wake on LAN enhances
remote management by enabling file updating and asset tracking
on powered-off PCs. It also permits remote PC setup, updates and
asset tracking to occur after hours and on weekends, minimizing
daily LAN traffic and user interruption. With the need to provide
consistent and timely updates, Wake on LAN brings new levels of
control, simplicity and savings to LAN-based networks.
Service Boot
Service Boot is a BIOS-based manageability solution that allows a
computer to be booted up without any operating system on the
hard disk, or with a damaged image, attaching to a (usually server-
based) configuration tool. With the configuration tool, the IT
administrator can reconfigure the hard disk image, perform
software upgrades of individual components and perform a BIOS
upgrade. Basically, it allows an administrator to restore a crashed
disk drive quickly and easily.
Alert on LAN
Alert on LAN is a network connection technology that recognizes
when there are hardware or operating system failures, or evidence
of tampering, even if the computer is powered down or the
operating system is unavailable. This manageability solution
allows the IT administrator to receive the alerts remotely and
adjust their settings, if desired. Alert on LAN technology is
embedded on the motherboard of the Toshiba NetDock.
