The Wakeup On LAN feature allows you to remotely turn on a Managed PC system that is in a sleep state. The ability to turn on the Managed PC systems remotely allows you to perform remote computer setup, software downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on weekends when users are not using the systems and network traffic is at a minimum.

To use the Wakeup On LAN feature, each Managed PC system must contain a NIC that supports Wakeup On LAN. You must also enable the Wakeup On LAN option in the System Setup program.
