Wake On LAN

Wake On LAN (WoL) allows you to remotely turn on a device on the network, such as a computer,

storage device or media server. To use this feature the remote hardware (for example the network

adapter on a computer) must support Wake On LAN using the “Magic Packet” method.

You need to know the MAC address of the remote device. It may be on a label on the device.
