Wake-on-LAN Tool
Turn computers on remotely with a Wake-on-LAN tool
Easily turn on powered-off devices with a Wake-on-LAN tool
There’s nothing worse than trying to finish up a project from home and realizing you don’t have the one last document you need to get it done. With the Wake-on-LAN (WOL) tool included in SolarWinds® Engineer’s Toolset™, you can turn on any computer on your network, even if it’s powered off or in low-power mode, so you can access the information you need.
Quickly generate a WOL magic packet for computers on your network
The process of powering on a computer remotely involves a Wake-on-LAN tool generating an individualized WOL magic packet for the specific MAC address associated with that computer. The SolarWinds Wake-on-LAN tool in Engineer’s Toolset can quickly generate a WOL magic packet for computers on your network. When the sleeping computer detects the magic packet containing its specific MAC address, it will turn on. You can rest easy knowing you’ll have access to the device you need when you need it.
Ensure you can stay connected to remote devices whenever needed
Sometimes projects come up that you need to complete even if you aren’t with your computer. You might be tempted to leave your computer on, so you can access it if the need arises.
With a Wake-on-LAN tool, you can power on computers that are off or in low-power mode, which means you can confidently turn them off when you leave, since you can turn them on remotely if you need to.

Do you find yourself asking…
A Wake-on-LAN tool is designed to wake up powered off devices remotely by generating a WOL magic packet that can remotely power on PCs attached to networks.
Imagine you need that one last document to finish a project, but you shut down your work PC. With a Wake-on-LAN tool, powering up a remote PC is no longer an issue. When the remote network adapter receives a magic packet created for its unique MAC address, the network interface card alerts the power supply of the computer to power on.
In more practical terms, if Wake-on-LAN is enabled in the computer's BIOS settings, when you enable the Wake-on-LAN software from wherever you are, the computer system will start up just as if the power button has been pressed. When a device is shut down, its network interface card is still receiving power and keeps listening on the network for a magic packet to arrive, like the one a Wake-on-LAN tool can generate and send.
