Wake-on-LAN

CA ITCM has Wake-on-LAN (WOL) functionality to power up and connect to remote host computers that are switched off, for example, those located in different time zones. The Wake-on-LAN feature is available for single computers, a selection of computers, and computer groups.

Note: The agents should be in the same subnet in order to power up the switched off computers.

From the DSM Explorer, you can perform the following actions:

From the Remote Control viewer, you can wake up a single PC in the global address book, start it, and control it. The remote control configuration policy, Register WOL information, must be enabled to remotely power up computers that support WOL from the global address book (this is the default setting). Otherwise, WOL is only available from the DSM Explorer.

Note: For information about powering up one or more remote computers from the DSM Explorer, see the DSM Explorer Help.
