Remote System Alerts

The 3C905C-TX-M NIC can be configured to continuously transmit a packet to an alert target management station. If the management station fails to receive the regularly scheduled packet, an alert can be triggered that signals a possible PC power loss or theft.

The 3C905C-TX-M NIC can also transmit a workgroup keep-alive packet periodically while the PC is in a sleep state. This packet prevents the PC workstation address from being aged-out of switch and router tables.

     
     
     
    Only system administrators should configure these features. See the ADVCONFG.TXT file located in the HELP directory on the EtherCD for more information.
