Cnr?

[willsko87]

I have a spare CNR (Communication Network Riser) slot on my motherboard. What hardware does that allow me to connect?

a small slot modem, only used in workstations as if once server starts up, systems/workstations boots up automatically.

is that all? anything that i would use?

 

[Blind_Arrow]

why do you have to use it specifically?

are you on network? or want all your alots to be covered?

nah just a standalone computer. i dont need to use it. i was just wondering if there was anything good that i could buy that goes in it.
thanks

nothing to install in it, as it also was used for OEM's to install teir own modems in it. as its only Modem RIser, will do nothing except that transmits signals to wake up the computer/ or install modems by OEM manufacturers. in newer motherboard, this functionality is built into LAN cards. you must have heard, WAKE ON LAN??

this is same thing.
