A physical Wake-on-LAN connector (white object in foreground) featured on the IBM PCI Token-Ring Adapter 2. Wake-on-LAN (WoL or WOL) is an Ethernet or Token Ring computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or awakened from sleep mode by a network message.
A real time clock alarm is a feature that can be used to allow a computer to 'wake up' after shut down to execute tasks every day or on a certain day. It can sometimes be found in the 'Power Management' section of a motherboard's BIOS/UEFI setup. Wake On LAN, Wake on ring, and IPMI functions could also be used to start a computer after it is ...
The method by which a sleep proxy server wakes a sleeping host is wake-on-LAN. The network interface of a sleeping host with this capability will wake the machine when it receives a specific series of bits, and a packet containing this pattern is a magic packet. Early implementations of Wake on LAN (WoL) required
Alert on LAN (AOL, sometimes AoL) is a 1998, IBM- and Intel-developed technology that allows for remote management and control of networked PCs. AOL requires a Wake on LAN adapter. Technical details
Wake-on-Ring (WOR) or Wake-on-Modem (WOM) is a specification that allows supported computers and devices to "wake up" or turn on from a sleeping, hibernating or "soft off" state (e.g. ACPI state G1 or G2), and begin operation.

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a single physical location. It is the most common type of computer network, used in homes and buildings including offices or schools, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] for sharing data and devices between each other, including Internet access .
An overwhelmed network node can send a pause frame, which halts the transmission of the sender for a specified period of time. A media access control (MAC) frame (EtherType 0x8808) is used to carry the pause command, with the Control opcode set to 0x0001 (hexadecimal). [1] Only stations configured for full-duplex operation may send pause frames.
