Wake Settings Descriptions (6x)

Overview

This article lists and defines the settings on the Wake Settings tab, which is part of creating and editing policies.

These settings affect how you can wake PCs from the Administrator console, as well as how end users can wake their own PCs.

You can change wake settings for a specific policy, or you can set new policy default wake settings.

Information

To change the settings that all new policies created will inherit, navigate to the Configure menuPolicy Defaults > Wake Settings tab.

To change the settings for a specific policy, follow the below steps:

  1. In the Administrator console, on the Verdiem menu icon.PNG, click Policies.
  2. Select that policy in the list, and then click the Wake Settings tab in the main content section and change the settings as needed.
    Note: The setting Don’t change means to use whatever is set in the operating system or hardware for this action.

Basic Settings (Windows Clients Only)

These settings affect how end users can wake their computers from a sleep state.

  • Wake on mouse movement and Wake on keyboard press: These are enabled by default so that users can move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard to wake their computers.
  • Require a password on wake: Enable this setting to add a layer of security to waking on mouse movement or keyboard press.

Advanced Settings (Windows Clients Only)

Turn on display on wake Turns on the monitor when a wake request is sent through Wake on LAN or policy schedule change
Wake enable USB Enable this for USB mouse or other pointing devices.
Allow suspend with remote user

Enable this if you use the Wake for Remote Access component, through which end users can wake their computers and then log in from a remote location.

If this setting is enabled, the computer is able to transition to a low power state according to the scheme set for it, while the user is logged in from another location but is not active on the computer.

If this setting is not enabled (default), the computer remains on while the user is logged in, regardless of activity.

Wake on WAN Settings (Windows and Mac Clients)

The three settings in this section correspond to Windows network card settings, with the third setting (Wake on magic packet) also applying to Mac computers. All three essentially work together to enable Surveyor clients to wake through a Wake on LAN magic packet.

All of these settings are enabled by default, to enable the Surveyor Wake on WAN feature. If you do not want to use Wake on WAN, select Disable all settings.
