WOL
Wake on LAN (WOL). This allows a magic packet to be sent to wake up a networking
device on the local subnet.
Figure 9.
Wake on LAN
The interface shows the current ARP list of the router. Clicking any entry in the ARP
list will send a magic packet to that MAC address.
You may also enter one or more MAC addresses in the MAC Address List field.
Separate multiple MAC addresses with a space or new line. Click ‘Wake Up’ to send
the Magic Packet to all MAC addresses in the list. If your list is large, you can re-size
the field by dragging the marker in the bottom right of the box. ‘Wake Up’ also saves
the MAC Address List – the list will persist through reboots.
Use hint:
If a device is turned off, it will not appear in the ARP list. To use WOL
effectively, you need to plan ahead. The ARP list is only refreshed when you browse
to the page or hit the refresh button. Use the ARP list to identify the MAC addresses
of the devices that you want to control while they are on the network, and copy these
MAC addresses to the MAC Address List to be able to use them later.
