Integrated NIC bios option

On an OptiPlex SX 280 in the bios, under Integrated NIC, what does "On w/PRL" mean?

EDIT, this is under Wake on LAN

Thanks,
Marshall

This is all I could find in the Documentation for Remote Wake Up

Settings are On, On w/ Boot to NIC, and Off but it does mention that it will only appear if Low Power Mode is not enabled because if LPM is enabled the computer can only be started from Suspend Mode. Perhaps the switch you're trying to identify is used to diasble the Low Power Mode before trying to wake the computer that was adding as a BIOS upgrade. I don't know for sure but its my best guess

NIC Controller

You can set the NIC to On (default), Off, or On w/ PXE. When the On w/ PXE setting is active (available only for the future boot process), the computer prompts the user to press . Pressing this key combination causes a menu to display that allows you to select a method for booting from a network server. If a boot routine is not available from the network server, the system attempts to boot from the next device in the boot sequence list.
