Remote Security Management

Remote Security Management allows the system administrator to safely set or modify security
features on remote Compaq desktops, 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 desktop 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 or at the Compaq Web site at
www.compaq.com.
3.4.3

Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown

If the 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.
To enable Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown, complete the following steps:
1. Double-click the Network Icon, located in the Control Panel.
2. Double-click the appropriate network controller.
3. Click the Advanced Properties tab.
4. Select Remote Wakeup.
5. Change the value to ON.
6. Click OK to save and apply changes, then click OK to exit the Network dialog.
For more information on using Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown, 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 or at the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com.
