H.2 Wake-on-LAN support (WOL)
Several of the GEN series mainframes support Wake-on-LAN features (WOL). WOL
is only supported on copper or optical networks. WOL is not supported by wireless
networks.
At the time of this manual's release, the following mainframes support WOL:
● GEN2tB
● GEN3i
● GEN3iA
● GEN3t
● GEN4tB
● GEN7i/GEN7iA/GEN7iB
● GEN7tA/GEN7tB
● GEN17tA/GEN17tB
WOL can turn the GEN series mainframe on from the “S5”' power state when power
is connected to the mainframe and the power switch at the net entry is switched to
the “1” or “on” position. In this state, the power can be turned on by sending a “magic
packet” to one of the mainframe's wired network ports. The magic packet must contain
the MAC or Physical address of the connected network port.
Generating a magic packet can be done with third party tools or custom-built applica-
tions. Search the internet using “Wake-on-LAN” and several freeware tools show up.
HBM is not responsible for any of the (freeware) tools found using this search method.
Whenever a mainframe is powered off by using a forced power down (keeping the standby
button pressed for ve seconds), the WOL feature is disabled. Always allow the system to
power down normally to enable the WOL feature.
When a mainframe's power is interrupted externally, re-applying power to the mainframe
immediately starts the mainframe (no WOL magic packet is required).
