In order to work with NetAwake, the target computer needs to enable Wake-on-LAN.
Mac OS X
To enable Wake-on-LAN on Mac OS X, follow these steps:
- Open System Preferences.
- Open Energy Saver.
- If you're running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), click Options at the top of the window.
- If you're running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), check the box which reads, "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access."
- If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), check the box which reads, "Wake for Ethernet network access."
Other OSes
Under other operating systems (such as Windows and Linux), Wake-on-LAN is typically configured as a BIOS option. See the manual for your computer for more information on whether Wake-on-LAN is supported and how to enable it
