Wake On Lan - D-Link dge-530t User Manual

Section 3 - Advanced Features
Wake on LAN (WoL) is an ACPI function allowing a powered down (sleeping) computer to be powered ON from a remote
station. To use the WoL feature, the NIC must be WoL capable and the motherboard of the PC must be ACPI compliant. While
computers are powered down or in sleep mode, WoL-enabled network adapters monitor LAN traffic for valid Wake-up frames.
When one is received, the NIC will immediately wake-up and send a signal to the motherboard to power ON the computer.
Some uses for the WoL feature include:
• Forgot a document and are out of town? Send a Wake-up signal to your computer and retrieve the needed file.
• Initiate long routines and reports before you get to work.
• Transfer files when the network traffic is low (during late hours).
• Power ON your PC before you arrive to work.
• IT departments can upgrade software on computers after hours from a remote station.
Launch the Ethernet Diagnostic Utility and click on the
D-Link adapter. Click Wake.On.LAN to "wake up" your
adapter from a remote location.
