Wake-On-LAN
Critical management tasks in an organization include software installation, upgrades and hotfixes;
data backup, system inventory and patch management. Performing these tasks requires keeping
the workstations on. The Wake-on-LAN technology allows you to wake up the workstations
remotely. This ensures that the workstations can go to sleep and save power.
In a scenario where Wake-on-LAN (WOL) broadcast packets cannot always cross routers and
other networking equipment and therefore cannot always wake up workstations on remote
subnets, it is possible to designate one or more workstations as WOL relays. To designate a
workstation as a WOL relay, refer to
Core Agent Installer
.
When Faronics Core Console attempts to wake up a workstation on a remote subnet, it contacts a
WOL relay on that subnet, using it to re-broadcast the wake up message on the target subnet. For
information on configuring Wake-on-LAN Web service, refer to
WOL Web Service Tab.
For information on how to wake workstations remotely refer to
Waking up Workstations via the
Remote Workstation Wake up Web Interface
.
