Disabling Wake-on-LAN, when not needed, can slightly reduce power consumption on computers that are switched off but still plugged into a power socket. [6] The power drain becomes a consideration on battery-powered devices such as laptops as this can deplete the battery even when the device is completely shut down.
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 ...
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. It is based upon AMD 's Magic Packet Technology , which was co-developed by AMD and Hewlett-Packard, following its proposal as a standard in 1995.
For example, a commercially available computer in Wake-on-LAN standby typically consumed 2 to 8 watts of standby power as of 2011, but it was possible to design much more efficient circuitry: a purpose-designed microcontroller can reduce total system power to under 0.5 watts, with the microcontroller itself contributing 42 mW.
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.

Wade being overturned, I think, was a real wake up call for a lot of us,” she said. “That was a sign that we can’t just rest on our laurels and assume porn is going to be fine, they’re ...
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
