The following sequence of events occurs when Remote Wakeup turns on a PC:
. .
. .
. .
1. From the Wakeup Utility the systems administrator defines the target network computers and
. .
schedules the time for wakeup. At the scheduled time, the Wakeup utility sends a Magic
. .
TM
. .
Packet
to the remote machine. Note: Supporting third-party PC LAN management
. .
applications may also be used to send a Magic Packet frame to the PC.
. .
. .
2. The Remote Wakeup-enabled NIC in the workstation receives the wake-up frame and
. .
. .
analyzes it to determine if the frame contains the workstation' s media access control (MAC)
. .
address.
. .
. .
3. If the frame contains the workstation's MAC address and if the capability is enabled in
. .
. .
CMOS, the workstation boots itself, just as if it were turned on by using the On/Off switch.

Remote Security Management

Remote Security Management allows the system administrator to safely set or modify security
. .
. .
features on remote Compaq Workstations, directly from the centralized network management
. .
console. Enabling the system administrator to perform these tasks remotely, on multiple
. .
. .
workstations, results in consistent deployment of and greater control over Workstation security
