Remote Security Management

Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown

3-20 Intelligent Manageability
Remote Security Management allows the system administrator
to safely set or modify security features on remote Compaq
Deskpros, directly from the centralized network management
console. Enabling the system administrator to perform these
tasks remotely, on multiple computers, results in consistent
deployment of and greater control over Deskpro security
parameters over the network. It also results in greater
productivity and lower total cost of ownership.
Your computer must be powered on, or turned on through
Remote Wakeup, to take advantage of Remote Security
Management. Use of Remote Security Management also
requires an established setup password.
For more information about the Remote Management Setup
software and enabling Remote Security Management, refer to
the online Remote Management Administrators Guide. The
Remote Management Administrators Guide is included with the
Remote Management Administration Tools, and is available on
the Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop, Portable, and
Workstation Products or at the Compaq Web Site at
www.compaq.com.
If your computer has an optional network card installed, it may
support the Compaq Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown
functions. These functions allow a system administrator to
power on and power off a client computer from a remote
location, supported by PC LAN management tools.
Third-party software tools are required to remotely
distribute software.
Remote Wakeup allows the network interface controller to
continue functioning, even when power to the computer has
been turned off.
The computer continues to consume a small amount of
electricity even after you turn it off. Only when you
disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet does
the computer stop consuming electricity.
