Wake-on-LAN
Host
The Host is a remote module installed on a target (i.e. remote) PC. This module works for both unattended and attended access.
Viewer
Viewer is a single "command center" used by a support technician/admin. The Viewer is where you keep your address book, start remote sessions and manage your licenses.
Direct connection
A direct connection is possible when the Host is in direct visibility to the Viewer, i.e. the Host can be addressed by its IP address or hostname (DNS name).
This connection type does not require any intermediary (relay) servers in-between Viewer and Host and is by definition the fastest way to access a remote Host.
Address book
An address book is a place where you can keep and organize your remote connections. Each connection represents a specific remote computer. Connections have properties such as the destination address, access password (if saved), color depth and so on.
Remote Utilities allows you to back up and encrypt your address books stored locally.
The Wake-on-LAN command allows you to wake a remote Host PC located in the same LAN and the same subnet as the Viewer PC.
Important!

- You must have WoL enabled on your network card. Please, refer to this article for more information.
To send a WoL packet to the remote PC right-click on the target connection in your address book and select Wake on lan from the menu:
