WOL Proxies
Wake on LAN proxies – wake up remote PCs without using directed broadcasts.
Auto Shutdown Manager supports so-called directed broadcasts to wake up PCs in remote IP segments or VLANs. However, in some situations, you can’t or don’t want to use the directed broadcast technology. In this case, a WoL Proxy comes into play.
A WoL Proxy is a PC running the Auto Shutdown Manager client or an Java supported device such as the Raspberry Pi running the Java based WoL proxy. It should be configured to run for 24/7. Ideally, this is a server PC that would run 24/7 anyway or, alternatively, a low-power PC that runs at the remote site.
