Wake-on-LAN

Wake-on-LAN (WoL) asks a compatible device to wake through its network interface. A common request is a magic packet identifying the destination by its hardware MAC address. The device and its power/network configuration must support waking. Intel describes remote-wake requirements

BetterDisplay can send wake requests in supported TV and controller configurations. A working video connection does not establish this capability. The network interface must remain powered and reachable while the device is in standby.

Sending a wake request does not confirm that the device woke. The MAC address identifies the interface to wake, while the host or IP address locates the device for later control commands.

See Network Controllers for the relevant configuration fields.
