Remote Wake-Up

Other Operating Systems

In operating systems that do not support remote wake-up technology, you can still use the Magic Packet method of remotely powering up a computer. 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 http://www.support.intel.com and follow the included instructions.
