An information handling system may include a processor, a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide out-of-band management facilities for the management of the information handling system, the management controller further configured to generate a unique identifier associated with the information handling system and a network interface communicatively coupled to the processor and the management controller and configured to encapsulate the unique identifier in a datagram for wireless communication to a wireless docking station and broadcast the datagram. The management controller may be further configured to, in response to receiving a response datagram from the wireless docking station, wake the information handling system.
