To utilize Wake-On-LAN technology you need all of the following hardware configurations: •A network card which can support Wake-On-LAN – Your network card vendor can tell you if your network adapter supports Wake-On-LAN (most modern adapters do). If it does support Wake-On-LAN, it must be configured to enable remote wake up. Some adapter drivers are disabled by default within the operating system.•Wake-On-LAN enabled system BIOS – Wake-On-LAN must be enabled in the system BIOS. This option can usually be found in the ‘Boot’ menu of the BIOS configuration program. •Power management – ACPI should be enabled, otherwise the user of the machine should ensure that it is powered off by pressing the off button after shutdown.
