This tool allows you to send a Wake-on-LAN (WOL) signal to power up your server if it has been shut down, either intentionally or unintentionally.

In order to use this feature successfully, it must be enabled in your server BIOS. Customers with older servers may find that WOL will not work. Should this be the case, please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to assist you with the power up. The BIOS feature will be enabled at the same time allowing you to use WOL at any time without further assistance.
