How to wake a computer on LAN?

Remote Access Plus has the ability to wake up computers within the same and different subnets. When a task is initiated to wake up a computer, the target computer's broadcast address is sent to the specific computer which is live in that subnet.

Note: To wake a computer belonging to a different subnet, at least one computer in the specified subnet should be live.

Pre-requisites to wake a computer on LAN:

IP redirected broadcast should be enabled on the router.
One of the computer under Remote Access Plus management should be live in the same subnet.
