Apple Remote Desktop: Wake Feature Works for Ethernet Clients Only

The Wake Up command in the Manage menu works only for wired Ethernet-connected client computers. You cannot wake up wireless Ethernet clients using ARD.
Symptom

A wireless client in the computer list appears as Unavailable when it is asleep.


Solution

As a workaround, you may use separate to-sleep times for the system and the display on the client computer. Assign a longer value to the system, and a shorter value to the display.
