Chapter 5: Setting Advanced Properties

68

The Wake Up Capabilities property enables the network adapter to wake 
up from a low-power mode when it receives a network wake-up frame. 
There are two types of wake-up frames: Magic Packet and Wake Up 
Frame. The default setting is Both - which implements both the Magic 
Packet and Wake Up Frame.

The Wake on LAN (WOL) feature applies to the copper port NIC 
cards:

AT-2912T
AT-2972T/4

WOL is not supported on fiber NIC cards due to power limitations of 
the PCI bus. The Gigabit fiber cards in this category are:

AT-2916SX
AT-2916LX10/LC-901
AT-2931SX,AT-2972SX
AT-2972LX10/LC-901
