In operating systems that do not
support remote wake-up technology, you can still use the Magic Packet method to remotely
power-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.
