Enabling Wake on WAN Settings (6x)

Overview

Along with making sure that client computers are enabled for Wake on LAN, you also need to enable the Surveyor Wake on WAN in your policy settings. This article provides the steps on how to enable this setting.

Process

  1. On the Verdiem menu , click Policies.

  2. Select a policy from the list, and then click the Wake Settings tab.

  3. Under Wake on WAN Settings, select Enable all settings.

    • On Windows computers, these settings correspond to the network card settings that you configure through the Windows Control Panel.

    • For Mac clients, the only setting that is used is Wake on magic packet only (which can be enabled only when the other two are enabled as well).

NOTE: You can change wake settings for a specific policy, or you can set new policy default wake settings. To change the settings that all new policies created will inherit, navigate to the Configure menu, click Policy Defaults, and then click the Wake Settings tab.

After you enable the wake settings, run a test wake operation through Wake on LAN. If some clients do not respond, you might need to configure the network card and BIOS separately on those clients.
