Editing Wake-on-LAN (section)

====Mac hardware and macOS====

Modern Mac hardware supports WoL functionality when the computer is in a sleep state, but it is not possible to wake up a Mac computer from a powered-off state.

[[Mac OS X Snow Leopard]] and later support WoL, which is called Wake on Demand. On laptops, the feature is controlled via the macOS System Settings Battery panel, in the Options pop-up window. The ''Wake for network access'' item can be set to "Always", "Only on Power Adapter", or "Never"; "Always" enables Wake-on-LAN even when on battery power, but "Only on Power Adapter" enables it only when connected to a power supply. On desktops, the feature is controlled via the System Settings Energy Saver panel. Marking the ''Wake for network access'' checkbox enables Wake-on-LAN.<ref name="share-mac-resources">{{cite web |url=https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/share-your-mac-resources-when-its-in-sleep-mh27905/mac |title=Share your Mac resources when it's in sleep |website=Apple Support}}</ref> It can also be configured through the terminal using the ''pmset womp'' (wake on magic packet) command.
	
The [[Apple Remote Desktop]] client management system can be used to send Wake-on-LAN packets,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://support.apple.com/guide/remote-desktop/sleep-shut-down-log-out-or-restart-a-computer-apd5535ee19/mac |title=Sleep, shut down, log out, or restart a computer with Remote Desktop |website=Apple Support}}</ref> but there are also freeware and shareware macOS applications available.  A mechanism called [[Bonjour Sleep Proxy]], provided by Apple AirPort access points and Apple TVs, allows other machines on a LAN to cause a WoL packet to be sent to a host when that machine accesses one of the host's shared resources.<!--[[User:Kvng/RTH]]-->
