Wake Up

The Wake Up dialog box lets you specify the name or the IP address of the Primary or the Proxy Servers to be used to send a wake-up request to a powered off managed device. You can also specify the IP address to be used by the server for sending the wake-up broadcast.

Primary or Proxy Servers that Send Wake-up Request to the Managed Devices

Specify the servers to send a wake-up request to the managed devices:

Automatically detect the server: ZENworks automatically detects the Primary Server closest to the managed device. If the server and the remote device are in different subnets, ensure that the router connecting them is configured to forward subnet-oriented broadcasts on UDP port 1761.
Use the following devices: Click Add to select a proxy server or device that exists in the same subnet as the device you want to wake up.

If the router is configured to allow transfer of the data packets across different subnets, a proxy server is not required.

IP address Used for Sending the Wake-up Broadcast

Specify the IP address to send the wake-up broadcast:

Automatically detect the IP address: ZENworks automatically detects the default broadcast address of the subnet to send the wakeup broadcast to the managed device.
Use the following IP address: Specify the IP address to send the wakeup broadcast to the managed device, then click Add.

Number of Retries

Specify the number of attempts to wake up the device. By default, it is 1. However you can change the default value.

Time Interval between Retries

Specify the time period between two retry attempts. By default, it is 2 minutes. However you can change the default value.

The default values for the Number of Retries and the Time Interval between Retries options are configured at the zone level. You can override these values at the device level.
