Power Up a Remote Computer

You can power up and connect to a remote computer from the Remote Control viewer.

To power up a remote computer

1. Double-click a computer in the global address book, My Favorites folder, or Recently Used folder.

   Alternatively, right-click a computer and click Open.

   The Connection Settings dialog appears.

2. Specify a connection type, address, and user name in the corresponding fields in the Connect tab.
3. Click the Advanced tab and click Power Up:

   

   Note: If the Power Up button is not visible in the viewer, then WOL information is not registered in the GAB.

   Remote Control attempts to connect you to the host computer using the Wake-on-LAN (WOL) feature, if Wake-on-LAN information is available for the specified computer. It displays a typical Connection Status message during this process.

   Note: If you click Connect instead of Power Up, and the connection fails, the viewer determines the reason for the connection failure. If the connection failed because the host could not be contacted, even though the IP address/DNS name was valid, the Connection Status message lets you click the following link, which provides the same functionality as Power Up: "Click here to attempt to turn on the computer remotely, and connect again."
