Putting a Computer to Sleep
Apple Remote Desktop can put client computers to sleep. This has the same result
as choosing the Sleep command on the client: the display sleeps, the hard disks spin
down, and the computer’s central processor and network interface are put in a low-
power mode.
Note: Although you can put to sleep computers that are on other network subnets
besides your own, or connected through AirPort, you won’t be able to wake them
using Remote Desktop unless there’s a Bonjour sleep proxy running on the other
network subnets.
To put a computer to sleep:
1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2 Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
3 Choose Manage > Sleep.
4 Click Sleep.
Waking Up a Computer
Apple Remote Desktop can wake computers from sleep. To wake a computer using
Remote Desktop, the computer’s networking hardware must support waking by using a
network packet (wakeonlan), and the computer must have “Wake For Ethernet Network
Administrator Access” enabled in the Wake Options of Energy Saver preferences.
You cannot wake computers connected to the network by AirPort or computers
that aren’t on your local subnet. Apple Remote Desktop uses a “wakeonlan” packet
to wake sleeping client computers. The packet can only be delivered by way of a
local broadcast address, so it only works on a local area network. Also, the network
hardware still needs to be powered to receive and act on the packet. AirPort and other
wireless network interfaces completely power down on sleep and therefore can’t
receive or act on a wakeonlan packet.
