Description

Wake On LAN (WOL) is a technology that allows a network device to be woken up remotely from a low power state. It is commonly used to power on a computer remotely when it is off or in sleep mode. It is an important feature for remote management of devices, such as servers, network printers, routers, and other network devices. WOL works by sending a special packet of data to a device that is configured to listen for it. When the device receives this packet, it will power up and become available on the network. WOL can be enabled on most modern hardware, and is supported by most operating systems. It is a useful tool for remotely managing and troubleshooting network devices.
