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. These machines need to be setup properly by enabling WakeOnLan in the 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.
