Putting a Computer to Sleep
Apple Remote Desktop can put client computers to sleep. This has the same result as
choosing the Sleep command on the client: the display sleeps, the hard disks spin
down, and the computer’s central processor and network interface are put in a low-
power mode.
Although you can put computers to sleep via AirPort, you will not be able to wake
them using ARD.
To put a computer to sleep:
1
Select a computer list.
2
Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3
Choose Manage > Sleep.
4
Click Sleep.
Waking Up a Computer
Apple Remote Desktop can wake up computers that have gone to sleep or been put to
sleep with ARD. To wake a computer using ARD, the computer’s networking hardware
must support waking via network packet (wakeonlan), and the computer must have
“Wake For Administrative Access” enabled in the Wake Options of Energy Saver
preferences.
You cannot wake up computers connected to the network via AirPort or computers not
located on your local subnet.
To wake a computer:
1
Select a computer list.
2
Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3
Choose Manage > Wake.
