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 new 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. If you'd like to use this feature with your computer or notebook, please check the list under localinfo > power on if your devices are listed correctly. |

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. The HIBERNATE mode usually is present when you shut down your machine and leave it connected to an active powerline. As soon as it doesn't have an external power source anymore, it quits HIBERNATE mode and shuts down completely to save battery. To enable Wake on LAN (WOL): |

Next thing is to check your machine, it should be connected via an ethernet port with a yellow point on it, wireless lan won't work.
If both things are okay, the client has to be configured.

Open system preferences -> Energy saving options -> wake for network access (or wake for wifi on most notebooks). Done. Sadly this quick and easy setup also has one negative point - you have to leave the machine in sleep mode to boot it over LAN.
