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.
