This way if you will have tried to systems.įailing all that there is a far more compecated method I use but not worth anybodys effort apart from mine. You could also unplug everything install a temp HDD and install Windows then under Device Manager > Network Adapter > Your NIC set it up/confirm that it is enabled for Magic Packer and it is allowed to wake the computer, then test it out to wake from another PC using the utility above. It's freeware and no ads or other that I remember as well as from memory, no install needed, just unzip and start it up, scan for running PC's, shut them down and boot them with WOL. I use it to wake PC's and it has never failed. You could be trying to wake the wrong PC, IP or MAC address or being blocked by something. I think it's a setting somewhere.įrom Windows I use: WakeMeOnLan Boot your NAS and do a scan with this utility from windows. So their could be something wrong with the NIC. It is known that some motherboards are affected by a bug that can cause immediate or random wake-up after a shutdown whenever the BIOS WoL feature is enabled (as discussed in this thread for example). You said it will boot via USB mouse movement then I would say the Power supply 5vsb is good and not week. For example, my PC's need jumpers changed if I want USB power when the PC's are shutdown. Read your MBs manual and see if there is a jumper that needs to be changed. WOL works, so you having no lights may mean nothing, just extra power saving mode (no LED's). That means that the AC adapter should not be turned off after the last Shut Down. The target Machine must be in the Shut Down state. The Machines should use an ATX power supply meeting the ATX 2.01 specifications. works with one or multiple network cards (NICS) connected to different networks (both computers). PCI adapters send and receive PME signals via a PCI socket directly, without the need for a Wake-on-LAN cable. My goal was to make a universal and easy Wake On Lan class that. Since I didnt see any C in the accepted answer, I wrote my own Wake On Lan code. ![]() might be a risk you would be willing to take.Ĭlick to expand.I just looked at one of my PC's and there are no NIC lights when shutdown. Very old question, I know, but still valid. but as long as you are certain to only cycle that switch when you know the NAS is powered off. as you add another potential point of AC power failure to your setup. You could use a smart plug (typically accessible from anywhere on the planet if connected to your WiFi) to cycle to AC power whenever you wanted to start up the NAS. OR, another BIOS option that almost always works is the power on following AC power restoration. I once setup a backup NAS that I set to automatically turn on via BIOS at a predetermined time every evening (which most every BIOS I have seen supports), and had a cron job that would shut it down every morning. what are you really trying to accomplish? Is the NAS located in a remote location that is inaccessible? Are you planning to power it off every day and want to be able to remotely turn it back on at a regular interval? ![]()
