Configuring Power Save
Advanced Options
The following advanced options can be used with Power Save:
• Dynamic Custom Workstation Groups
• Wake-on-LAN Across Subnets
• Wake-on-LAN Web Interface
Dynamic Custom Workstation Groups
In a scenario where you have multiple managed workstations, Faronics Core provides a feature to
create Dynamic Custom Workstation Groups. This feature allows you to create workstation
groups and dynamically update the workstation list based on predefined parameters.
Dynamic Custom Workstation Groups can be created based on the different departments in your
organization, physical locations, and user groups.
For more information on Dynamic Custom Workstation Groups, refer to the Faronics Core User
Guide available at
http://www.faronics.com/library .
Wake-on-LAN Across Subnets
In a scenario where Wake-on-LAN (WOL) broadcast packets cannot always cross routers and
other networking equipment and therefore cannot always wake up workstations on remote
subnets, it is possible to designate one or more workstations as WOL relays.
When Core Console attempts to wake up a workstation on a remote subnet, it contacts a WOL
relay on that subnet, using it to re-broadcast the wake up message on the target subnet.
For more information on Wake-on-LAN Across Subnets, refer to the Faronics Core User Guide
available at
http://www.faronics.com/library .
Wake-on-LAN Web Interface
In a scenario where Power Save is managing power on workstation(s), the Wake-on-LAN Web
Interface allows you to wake up the workstations. The workstation(s) can be woken up remotely
after logging on to the corporate Virtual Private Network (VPN).
For more information on Wake-on-LAN Web Interface, refer to the Faronics Core User Guide
