-The **WOL** menu allows you to send Wake-on-Lan (aka "Magic"packets to your wired client devices to power them on.+This function allows you send Wake-on-LAN signal (or "magic packet") to wired network devices to wake them or power them on.  Wake on LAN is generally not supported by wireless devices.
  
- \\+The list of devices on this menu includes:
  
-Client devices must be configured to respond to WOL packets for this to workFor PC to wake up from a WOL packet, it must have its WoL firmware setting enabledBefore testing WoL events scheduled in FreshTomato, ensure your PC has the appropriate UEFI/BIOS menu setting enabled to recognize Wake-On-LAN packets. Most UEFI/BIOS interfaces have a Wake-On-LAN option named something like:+  * Devices already active in the ARP table. 
 +  * Devices defined in static DHCP assignment. 
 +  * Devices defined manually in the //Dnsmaq Custom configuration//  field in the [[advanced-dhcpdns|DHCP/DNS/TFTP]] menu. \\ For example: ''dhcp-host=70:EE:50:37:E8:46,myhostnamein''
  
-  * Power on by PCI-E or PCI   (Asus UEFI)  + \\ Some devices might appear on this menu without their hostname defined/displayed. You can work around this by defining them manually in the //Dnsmasq Custom configuration//  field, as described above.
-  * PME Event Wakeup          (AWARD BIOS)  +
-  * Power on by PCI devices     (AMI BIOS)+
  
-WoL settings in the PC's operating system also must be enabled. For details, see: \\ [[https://www.howtogeek.com/70374/how-to-geek-explains-what-is-wake-on-lan-and-how-do-i-enable-it/]]+\\ There are two ways to send a magic packet to a device on your network:
  
-[[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/wake-on-lan-feature]]+  - Click anywhere in the list on the device you want to wakeThe **Wake Up** button briefly will grey out, then return \\ This indicates a magic packet was just sent to that device's MAC address. \\  
 +  Type the desired MAC addresses of the devices to wake into the **MAC Address List** box, and then click **Wake Up**. \\  Note that the **Wake Up** button also serves to save the contents of the **MAC Address List** box to be remembered for future use.

-Generally, WoL functions assume a client device starts out from an off state, possible on Windows PCs.  If your system is in a suspend or sleep state, it may not recognize the wake signal and therefore may not wake as expected.+ \\

- \\ There are two ways to wake up a device:+Your client device must be configured to respond to magic packets, both in firmware and in software, for WoL to wake it.  Enabling the firmware option causes the device's Ethernet chip to remain powered on (usually at low state) even when the device is sleeping/off. This allows it to listen for magic packets.  Enabling the software option allows the device to wake up or power on when that packet is received.
  
-  Click anywhere on the device you want to wake. After clicking, you should see the words (WAKE UP) in the Wake Up button (not the button itself) briefly turn grey. This indicates a WoL packet was sent to that device's MAC Address. +Most PCs have a Wake-on-LAN option that must be enabled in the UEFI or BIOSnamed something like:
-  - Type the desired MAC Address(es) of the devices to be awakened into the "MAC Address list" fieldand then click the WAKE UP button. \\  \\+

-MAC Addresses in the MAC Address List field are rememberedif you have clicked //Wake Up// at least once after entering them.+In terms of software, you must also enable the Wake on LAN settings in your PC operating system.
