WAN (Wide Area Network) support
As the name WOL indicates (Wake-on-LAN), there is no direct support outside the
boundaries of your LAN (Local Area Network). A LAN typically ends as soon as routers
or layer 3 switches are used to transfer network data from point A to point B. Routers
are typically used to access the internet. Layer 3 switches are typically used to control

segments within the network.
● Without using routers or layer 3 switches, magic packets can be sent within a LAN
without problems.
● When your company uses layer 3 switches, your IT department might need to help
you set up their layer 3 switches to allow WOL magic packets to reach your remote
GEN series system.
● Sending the magic packets for WOL from a location outside the LAN (WAN setup)
may require a VPN connection to the target LAN or special settings to the LAN
internet router.
