Enable Wake On Lan on te device which you’d like to wake up.
To get started with Wake On Lan, you’ll need to follow these steps: Normally just one single packet should do the trick, but most Wake On Lan applications actually send more than one packet – just to make sure. The Magic Packet ( UDP) is typically send to port 9, some systems default to port 7, and some systems allow you to define your own port number. That’s why a standard was defined with data of a specific format – the so called “Magic Packet”. While the NIC (network interface controller) is listening, a lot of traffic might pass that might not even be intended for this network connection, so just listening to network traffic would keep your network device awake even when you don’t want it to be awake. To be able to use Wake On Lan, yoru computer requires the network card of this device to be semi-awake, and still listen to traffic when the computer is in standby, just in case a “ magic packet” is being send to the device. There can be several motivations to do this save on power, save on the environment, save on wear-and-tear of your equipment, etc. WOL is probably most commonly used to wake up a server or NAS, just before access to these machines is needed – for example a media server, which can sleep all day long until you want to watch a movie. This means for example your home network. Wake On LAN, or WOL, is a Ethernet standard that allows you to “wake up” computers or network devices that are in stand-by, and is originally intended for use in a local network.
