| The idea of this new feature is simple, everyone should be able to wake their machine using localinfo. To do this various steps are needed depending on your hardware. First check if your machine is visible on the list, if so, then the server has all the information it needs, else you may need to register your notebook. |
The idea of this feature is simple, everyone should be able to wake their machine using localinfo. We use the standard Wake on Lan (in short WOL) feature to accomplish this. |

| Most computers support Wake On LAN on a wired network. The Wake On LAN feature allows you to turn on a computer in SLEEP or HIBERNATE mode via the network. To enable Wake On LAN (WOL): 1. On bootup, instructions to access the BIOS will be briefly displayed. Press this button to enter the BIOS. The hot key is commonly either DEL, F12, or F8. |

| 2. Using your BIOS, modify the boot sequence to make LAN first priority. 2.a. In a generic BIOS, boot priority settings can be found in the Boot Menu. 2.b. In an ASUS UEFI EZ BIOS, you can drag the LAN icon to the left to set LAN as first priority. |
Enter the BIOS Setup at startup of the machine. Look for the an Option like Power on by PCIE Devices, Powern On by onboard Lan, On Board LAN boot (rom) and set it to enable. It is usually under boot or advanced. |

WOL: Remotely power on a notebook / dekstop of IMATH

- 1 Activate WOL on the Device
2 Log in to localinfo > Power On (WOL)

Mac OS X
Setup
Open system preferences -> Energy saving options -> wake for network access (or wake for wifi on most notebooks). Use "sleep" instead of Power Off.
BIOS
Enter the BIOS Setup at startup of the machine. Look for the an Option like Power on by PCIE Devices, Powern On by onboard Lan, On Board LAN boot (rom) and set it to enable. It is usually under boot or advanced.
Windows
To enable WOL under Windows:
Right-click Computer, then click Properties > Device Manager.
- Under Network Adapters, double-click the device.
- Tick all the items under the Power Management tab.
Linux
Install ethtools and run the command sudo /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g
This command has to be run once anytime before the computer is shutdown, there are multiple way to automate this, for example:
For Debian / Ubuntu Linux, edit /etc/network/interfaces and append the following to eth0:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
post-up /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g
post-down /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g
For RHEL / SL / Fedora / CentOS Linux, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and add / modify the following line:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g"
or
ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g autoneg off speed 100 duplex full "
Save and close the file.
