Power on using WD

Postby egoy » Wed Aug 24, 2016 8:20 am

A newbie question about widget.

Hi all

Am doin an install with servers and manager on an art gallery. Now what i want to achieve is i will create a widget to power ON all the systems without touching the physical power ON button of the servers. Switching OFF and rebooting is fine. But powering UP I cant do it. I tried using the wake on lan command but no success.

Is it possible to do this or am i asking too much?

Thanks

be sure to activate the WoL function in the network card, it's not activated by default.

Hi,

you can use the "WakeOnLan" commands via WidgetDesigner.
Depending on the System you want to start, you have to activate this option in BIOS of the computer.

sometimes you have to activate it even in the properties of your network card (Device Manager). Look for "magic packet".
