The simplest usage of powerwake is to just supply the IP address or hostname of the machine you want to wake: Install our Wake-on-LAN application, in this case powerwake, as it has IP and hostname options. The following steps are for setting up a Wake-on-LAN application on Ubuntu but there are many applications available, including for Windows and Mac OS X, that accomplish the same task. Wake-on-LAN is platform-independent any application that sends 'magic packets' can wake up computers from shutdown state (as long mains power is not off) regardless of the OS it boots into afterwards. Sudo service wakeonlan start 3 Waking with Magic Packet

Logger -t 'wakeonlan init script' enabling wake on lan for $interface Sudo bash -c 'cat > /etc/init/nf' <<'EOF' The following commands create nf with the upstart code to run wakeonlan (as per example above), set the file to exectuable, and start the service : To have an application or service is running on startup, Ubuntu uses Upstart scripts which replace the old init scripts. Note: 'g' indicates wake on Magic Packet is enabled.Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full Run the following command to enable it on ethX (where X is the Ethernet device number). Sudo apt-get install ethtool 2.2 Setup ethtool WOL options One of the easiest applications to use to enable Wake-On-LAN is ethtool. One must tell Ethernet controller to WOL when boots up and tell 'halt' script not to bring down controller during shut-down. Even if you see the Ethernet port LED is on after the halt/shutdown, the OS shuts off the Ethernet internally. 4.3 Using the Kodi remote control iOS appįirst of all, the motherboard should support Wake-On-LAN and it should be enabled in the BIOS.ĭifferent BIOSs and motherboards do this differently for example on the ASUS P5N7A-VM, it's under Power > APM Configuration and in there Resume On PCIE Wake and Resume On LAN(MAC) should be enabled.Įven though Wake-On-LAN works in network layer 2, OS support is still one of the important things to make it work.4.2 Suspend or Hibernate from command line.
