PC-Duo overview

In order to execute this feature, both the MAC address and the last known IP address of

the remote computer must be known. Since the PC-Duo Gateway knows both of these

pieces of information, it is in a position to send the Wake-on-LAN signal.

PC-Duo implements this functionality in Gateway-managed connections in two ways:

 Implicit Wake-on-LAN: If Gateway is asked to make a connection to a remote

computer and the last status indicates that the remote computer is "Offline", the Gateway

will automatically attempt to wake up the remote computer by sending appropriately

configured WOL signal. If the remote computer was shut down in a state capable of

receiving WOL signal, it will wake up and report to the Gateway and a connection will be

established.

 Explicit Wake-on-LAN: A network administrator, using either PC-Duo Master or PC-

Duo Gateway Administrator, can attempt to wake up a remote computer by explicitly

sending the WOL signal to that machine. If the remote computer was shut down in a state

capable of receiving WOL signal, it will wake up and report to the Gateway and a

connection will be established.

See "Send Wake-on-LAN Signal" for more information.
