Wake on LAN

PacketTrap Wake On LAN will boot any networked machine with previously enabled capability in the BIOS by means of a “magic packet” from a remote location. Because an enabled network interface card is still receiving power, even on a shut down device, it keeps listening for the unique “magic” created for its MAC address. Upon reception, the network adapter alerts the computer to power on just as if the power button had been pressed. (Occasionally it will be necessary to reserve power for the card.) Wake On LAN is for those who have the thankless task of updating the many far flung machines of a large organization, for those who have left a digital asset on a shut down PC somewhere else, or for those who just need a little magic on the network.
