		+	* Once you set WOL, but your Agent PC can't endure standby overnight, you may WOL once at midnight.
		+	* Remote Power On/Off doesn't support a different network segment, it's recommended to use "Agent Mode" of WOL to assign an Agent in each network segment to wake up other Agents.

 === Installation ===
 * RMM Server can be installed to a Virtual Machine (such as VMWare, VirtualBox), but you need to allocate at least 4GB memory and download the off-line JRE installer (around 28~30MB) and install it to VM manually in case VM can't download the JRE components for installation.
 * .Netframework 3.5 for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 can refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2785188 (Win8.1) and https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn482069.aspx (WinSvr 2012)
 * VMWare Workstation 12 Pro will cause PostgreSQL install fail, but VirtualBox and Hyper-V are OK.
