Enable Wake-on-LAN
Wake-on-LAN is a way to remotely power up a network-attached device, like a computer or
storage system. This allows you to conserve power by keeping a device turned off when it is
not needed, but allows a remote system to turn it on when it is needed.
Wake-on-LAN works when one network-attached device sends a signal, called a magic
packet, to another network-attached device. If wake-on-LAN is enabled in the target device,
the packet signals the device to power up.
Your ReadyNAS system supports wake-on-LAN on the first Ethernet port (LAN 1) only.
To enable wake-on-LAN:
1. Select System > Power from the FrontView main menu.
The Power screen displays.
2. Scroll down to the Wake-on-LAN pane.
3. Select the Enable Wake-on-LAN service check box.
4. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
