Wake On Lan from Azbox ?

[Smudger]

Is it possible to use AZbox to issue wake on lan packet to wake server/pc .

Or is there a plugin?


Searched around but can't find anything just thought that now we have a wakeup script to use it would be nice to wake up server on lan.

just trying to be green.

Thanks

Do you mean use your azbox to send a WOL message to a PC on your LAN?
I don't have or know anything about an azbox, (so why am I replying lol) but a few years ago I tried several routers and found that most wouldn't send or pass a broadcast. I ended up buying a Draytek which cost a fortune but you can log in to it and send a wake up call to anything you like on your LAN.
Is that what you think the azbox may be able to do?

yes thats what I'm trying to do send from azbox to pc on same lan not external.

Well, google Wake on LAN and you will find a lot of info,. even for waking a PC when your not at home, i.e from internet. Sure if you delve deeper, you may come accross the basic commands, and then some how, impliment them with the azbox, simalar to the timer function. Guess you want your PC to come on at a certain time to interact with your AZBox??? on maybe you just want the PC on for when you get home???

Google it anyway, took me all of 5 secs to find out that it can be done from anywhere and also what port the WOL uses, and that there is also freeware out there to send the packets to wake up your PC.

Install IPKG on your azbox, if you don't have it already.

(see here for instructions (https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=112665))

then you can install wakelan doing


ipkg install wakelan



Usage: wakelan [options] [mac] [broadcast] [port]
-b addr broadcast address
-m mac mac address of host
-p port UDP port to broadcast to
-v[v] version
