Wake On LAN (WOL)

Wake OnLAN / Wan, is a technology by which we can turn on a computer remotely just by calling software. Can be implemented as local area networks (LAN) and wide area network (WAN or Internet). It works basically as follows: The network card allows you to fall asleep while the PC is switched off completely. Software sends a signal to the computer and the network card, which is connected to the motherboard, turn on your computer. We must bear in mind that this function only serves to turn on the computer not to turn off.
