(ON). Warning: As always, turn off and unplug
power to the computer before setting the WOL
jumper. The WOL connector on your mother-
board is live when the computer is plugged in

to a power outlet. Failure to do so could
damage the adapter or computer. Also, be sure
that your ATX power supply is 2.01 compliant
or better. This level of quality is required
because WOL requires 800 mAmps of 5V
standby current.
Using Wake-on LAN
The Wake-on LAN feature operates according to a published specification. In
simple terms, the specification allows designers to build network adapters that
are capable of "listening to" network activity even when the computer is
turned off. WOL adapters have a special low power standby mode that is
active when the rest of the computer is without power. The adapter will
respond to a special "wake-up" packet sent by another computer or network
device. Typically this wake-up packet causes the adapter to signal the com-
puter to power up and run a pre-defined program.
The wake up packet structure and behavior is defined in the WOL specifica-
tion, available from the website at http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/infobrf/iblan.html.
See the "Troubleshooting" section on page 48 for Wake-on LAN trouble-
shooting tips.
Configuration and Drivers
The Ethernet driver can not be installed directly from the Tyan Driver CD.
Before installing the Intel 82558 Ethernet drivers, the complete LAN 82558
directory and all it's contents must first be copied from the Tyan Driver CD

onto your hard drive. The 82558 driver can then be installed from your hard
drive.
Make sure that you are following the proper instructions for your operating
system (e.g. if you are using Windows 95, do not follow the Windows NT
instructions).
