Alert on LAN (AOL, sometimes AoL) is a 1998,IBM- andIntel-developed technology that allows for remote management and control of networked PCs. AOL requires aWake on LAN adapter.

The main idea of AOL is to send warnings to remote administrators about different PC conditions using a LAN. These conditions include:

• System unplugged from network
• Chassis intrusion
• Processor removal
• System environmental errors
• High temperature
• Fan speed
• Voltage fluctuations
• Operating system errors
• System power-on errors
• System is hung
• Component failure

Alert on LAN 2 (AOL2) extends AOL to allow active PC management, including:

• Remote system reboot upon report of a critical failure
• Repair Operating System
• Update BIOS image
• Perform other diagnostic procedures

• Wake-on-LAN
• Alert Standard Format
• Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware
