In operating systems that do not
support remote wake-up technology, you can still use the Magic Packet method to
power-up a computer remotely. When the computer is first powered on, the Intel®
Boot Agent configuration utility can be invoked by entering CTRL-S when the Boot
Agent prompt appears on the screen. The configuration program has a parameter
setting titled Legacy OS Wakeup Support. If this setting is enabled, the Boot
Agent will pre-condition the adapter to respond to a Magic Packet wake up event.
This allows remote wake-up in operating systems that do not support it. In early
versions of the PRO/100+ Management adapter, this setting will not appear and is
not needed.

NOTE: The Legacy OS Wakeup Support feature is not available in early versions of the Intel® Boot Agent. To update your Boot Agent to the latest version, download 100PBOOT.EXE from the support website and follow the provided instructions. |
