Abstract
A connection unit for a computer, which is connectable to a network, is configured such that in response to a receipt by the connection unit of a predetermined wake-up packet via the network, a predetermined signal is generated. Following which, in response to the predetermined signal, the receipt of the predetermined wake-up packet is persistently displayed utilizing a dedicated display. With these means, a user of the computer is enabled to recognize the fact execution of WOL has been carried out or attempted, without running a specific application (adapted for informing the user of the fact that WOL was executed) on the computer, or even where the computer is not connected to the connection unit.
