Wake On Lan Technology - Over Internet

Following is the information that is required for Wake On LAN Technology. This technology allows your wake computers remotely. These steps assume that the device that needs to be awoken has power - it has only been turned off/shutdown.
  1. If present within BIOS, Enable Wake On Lan and/or Power On By PCI Devices is set to Enabled.

  2. If present within BIOS, Power - After Power Failure is set to Always On.

  3. If present within BIOS, Wake On Lan is set to Power On.

  4. If present within Windows, In Control Panel - System - Hardware - Network Adapter - Advanced tab, Wake from Shutdown is set to On.

  5. If present within Windows, Control Panel - System - Hardware - Network Adapter - Advanced tab, Wake Up Cabilities is set to Both Magic Packet and Wake Up Frame.

  6. If present within Windows, Control Panel - System - Hardware - Network Adapter - Advanced tab, Power Management tab, Allow This Device To Wake The Computer is set to Enabled.

  7. Within Windows, Control Panel - Windows Firewall, a port exception has been defined for UDP Port 9.

  8. Using IPCONFIG /ALL, collect the Physical Address / MAC Address of each computer. This is the hardware address associated with the network card of each computer.

  9. You then remotely wake the computers using one of two tools:
  • Using Internet Explorer or Telnet, log into a router that supports Wake On Lan and send the magic packet from the router to the MAC Address destination. The computer should then turn on.

  • Execute the Depicus Wake on Lan for Windows Graphical User Interface and send the magic packet from your computer to the Public IP Address of your router. The computer should then turn on. (This configuration requires a port forward that is associated with the ARP Table / MAC Address of each computer on your network.)
