ABSTRACT:
Multiple stations, such as Personal Computers, are awakened (restored to full power) by a specially formatted Local Area Network (LAN) frame termed "Wake Multiple Over LAN". The frame includes a header field containing Destination Addresses, DA, of stations to be awakened and a data field containing a Group Address (GA) or Universal Wake-Up Address (UWUA). The receiving station parses the frame and if the station is a member of the group, it is returned to full power.
