Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/
WOL, including its hardware and software components. The BayStack 21 PCI 10/
100 Adapter w/WOL complements the BayStack 70-Series 10/100 Ethernet
Switches and BayStack 60-Series 10/100 Ethernet Hubs.
BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/WOL Overview
You can install the BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/WOL in the workstations,
desktops, or servers of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
95, Windows 98, or Windows NT
®
users. The network card provides connectivity to the network using the Wake On
LAN (WOL) feature, an open standard Advanced Configuration Power Interface
(ACPI) function. The standard provides power management support systems
through hardware and operating system integration. The motherboard of the
workstation must have an ACPI architecture to support this feature.
The WOL feature allows you to turn on a remote workstation. When installed in a
workstation that has been turned off, the BayStack 21 network card monitors LAN
traffic for valid wake-up frames. When the network card receives the correctly
addressed wake-up frame, it sends a signal to the motherboard to turn on the
workstation.
Note:
BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/WOL is sometimes also referred to
as the BayStack 21 network card in this document.

Information Technology (IT) organizations sometimes prefer to perform tasks
such as installing software, running virus scans, and backing up disk drives during
nonbusiness hours to avoid interrupting users during prime usage times.
Although organizations may use remote software installation tools or other
automated software, IT personnel may have to turn on each workstation for the
software to run. This use of IT resources is inefficient and expensive.
The remote wake-up feature gives IT personnel the ability to turn workstations on
remotely. You can use the wake-up capability to turn remote machines on
automatically, thus further decreasing IT personnel tasks. Workstations that have
been turned on can be directed to run virus scans or software upgrades and then to
return to a turned off mode. This combination of remote access and automatic
wake-up feature saves IT personnel time and increases user productivity by
avoiding delays and disruptions during work hours.
Product Features
The BayStack 21 PCI 10/100 Adapter w/WOL provides the following features:
Plug-and-play installation for Windows 95 and Windows 98
10/100 autonegotiation
Wake on LAN (WOL) capability
