Aim of the Wake On LAN

The Wake On LAN function makes it possible for a one machine connected to the LAN to
remotely turn on another machine also connected to that LAN. It can also be used to trigger a
resume from the Suspend state. This means that a host server can manage the power states on all
machines, with no needs for individual operators to turn their front power switches on. The
server can also monitor client states or be used for maintenance without the engineer having to
physically visit each machine.
