When a Master attempts to connect through the RAS server to a remote computer with a Host, and the last Host status in the RAS server indicates that the Host is offline, PROXY Pro assumes that the remote computer is asleep, and will automatically send the Wake-on-LAN signal (based on its MAC address and last known IP address).
If the RAS server doesn’t think the Host is offline, this step is skipped.
If the remote computer was asleep, and wakes up in a timely manner, the Master connection attempt will be successful (although it may take longer than if the computer were already awake).
If the computer doesn’t wake up in a timely manner, the connection attempt will fail, but the computer will now be awake so if the Master attempts a connection again, it should be successful.
The Master user can also explicitly try to wake up an offline computer by selecting a Host with offline status in the Gateway Hosts tab and then invoking the Send Wake-on-LAN Signal command from the console menu bar (Management > Send Wake-on-LAN Signal) or Gateway Hosts tab context menu. If a Host is not selected, the Send Wake-on-LAN Signal command will not be active.
