INSTALLING THE NETWORK CARD The Wake-on LAN (WOL) cable allows a WOL-enabled PC to be managed remotely. Software can be loaded and updated, configurations changed, data backed up, inventory checked, viruses removed, device conflicts eliminated and system crashes repaired from a remote central location. This decreases user downtime and increases overall productivity. Figure 1-1. EtherPower 10/100 Models 1-3
