Wake-on-LAN is a standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up by a network message called "Magic Packet".
Amahi supports waking up machines that have a static IP address configured.
These machines need to be setup properly by enabling WakeOnLan in their BIOS of the machine. This setting has quite a few names in BIOS's out there. Here's a couple of them (find the one you need in the user manual of your motherboard/system):
- MAC Resume From S3/S4
- MACPME Power Up Control
- Power On By Onboard LAN
- Power Up By Onboard LAN
- Resume by LAN
- Resume By WOL
- Resume on LAN
- Resume on LAN/PME#
- Wake on LAN from S5
- Wake Up On LAN
- WakeUp by Onboard LAN
- WOL (PME#) From Soft-Off
To try it, go to Setup > Networking > Static IPs and unfold the row for the device that you want to wake up.

If you're trying to wake a remote Linux system, and it's not working, try executing this command on the remote Linux client:
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
