Compulab products features industrial functionality out-of-the-box, which helps to maximize the level of control and operating flexibility of the overall systems.
Refer to the guides below:
1. Wake-on-LAN
- Wake-on-LAN features allows to wake the system from a remote location over a network.
- Wake-on-LAN can be enabled and configured with the linked GUI application:
2. Wake-on-Timer
- Wake on Timer feature allows to wake the system according to user defined schedules:
- Choose one of the two options below:
- Test the Wake timers with WakeUP application:
- Windows Task Scheduler can also be used:
3. Auto On
- Auto-on mechanism used to automatically power on the system after power failure or power interruption has occurred.
- It can be configured to several options (depends on system):
- a. Enabled - system go active (S0) after power interruption occurred
- b. Disabled - system remains in shut down (S5) after power interruption occurred
- c. Keeper - system follows the last state (S0, S5) after power interruption occurred
4. PXE Boot (LAN boot)
- PXE boot allows to boot a system from remote location over a network, either WAN or LAN.
5. Watchdog
- A watchdog timer is a mechanism that used to detect and recover the system from malfunctions, like hardware faults or program errors. During normal operation, the computer regularly restarts the watchdog timer to prevent it from elapsing, or "timing out".
- a. Enable the watchdog in BIOS: set between 6-1023 seconds. When enabled, the downcounter counts and reset the system as it reach 0.
- b. Install watchdog driver: During proper system operation, watchdog timer should be disabled (to prevent timeouts), which is done by the software driver.
