WOL - WAKE ON LAN - Time Controlled

System prerequisites

To be able to be of use for Wake on LAN, both the Mainboard and the network board must support ACPI. While the computer is turned off, furthermore the network board is supplied with electrical power over the stand-by electrical power branch of the power supply. In the stand-by state the network board listens as of and a bread roll signal creates to the Ethernet data traffic as soon as data packet christened arrives a „Magic package“ tackles at her Mac address. The Mainboard switches on the ATX power supply after that.

Windows configuration

To use WAKEONLAN one must invoke the network board under Windows in the set manager of the computer to be woken up and there under "energy administration" the two hooklet at set can "activate the computer from the stand-by mode" and "only administration stations can activate stand-by computers" stop.

Hardware configuration

Energy On by ring or Wake on LAN must be activated in the BIOS. Under circumstances the fitting WOL cable also must be put first between network interface card and Mainboard at some (older) network interface cards. One should look in the manual of the network interface card and the Mainboards what is necessary in detail.
