This section summarizes the specific power management requirements for network communications devices.
34. Compliance with "Device Class Power Management Reference Specification"
| Required |
The "Device Class Power Management Reference Specification" for the Network Device Class provides definitions of the OnNow device power states (D0 – D3) for these devices. The specification also covers device functionality expected in each power state and the possible Wakeup event definitions for the class.
35. Support Wakeup Events defined in "Device Class Power Management Reference Specification"
| Optional |
The "Device Class Power Management Reference Specification" for network devices includes a defined mechanism for programming the network adapter with one or more "wakeup packets" that, when received over the network, will generate a wakeup signal to the system using the wakeup signaling mechanism defined for the bus to which the adapter is connected. For PC 97, the ability to cause such a Wakeup event is an optional feature.
