8.2 Connecting to the controller
Option 2 - WOL via separate tool You will need the hostname of the controller as well
as its MAC address. To get this information, either refer to 8.2.4 on page 127 or en-
ter DTrack2 and go to Settings → Controller. Copy the ’hostname’ and MAC address
(’ethernet-MAC LAN’).
If you are a Windows user you need a separate WOL program to use this feature. Please
refer to the manual of the WOL program you are using to find out how to configure the
WOL function.
When using Linux you only need to switch to the console and type in the following com-
mand and your controller restarts:
for Linux openSUSE:
$ wol <MAC address of your Controller>
e.g.: $ wol 00:1D:92:3A:58:5F
for Ubuntu:
$ wakeonlan <MAC address of your Controller>
e.g.: $ wakeonlan 00:1D:92:3A:58:5F
8.2.4 Configuring your controller without the DTrack2 frontend
It is possible to retrieve (’information file’) and to configure (’setup file’) the current settings
of the controller without the DTrack2 frontend software. You only need a standard USB
pen drive (FAT32 formatted).

Please note that these settings are not part of your personal configu-
ration. Changes will affect all users of your controller! Your controller
may become unreachable with wrong IP settings!
• Plug the USB pen drive in any available USB port of the controller. Controller can
be powered up or off
• If necessary start up the controller
• Wait some time for the controller to write two files onto the USB pen drive (approx.
20-30 seconds, signalled by two (2) consecutive beeps)
• Unplug the USB pen drive
• Now view the information file 8.2.4.1 on page 128 or edit the setup file 8.2.4.2 on
page 128 with any editor
• When changing the setup file please plug the USB pen drive in the controller again
afterwards
• Wait some time for the controller to read the setup file (approx. 20-30 seconds,
signalled by three (3) consecutive beeps)
