![]() If you are using Linux type ifconfig in a terminal and you should see a 12-digit alphanumeric address that looks like 0A:2B:3C:4D:5E:6F somewhere in the output. Determine and write down the MAC address of the NIC in the machine you wish to wake. If you have managed to configure your BIOS correctly, the rest should be fairly easy. WAKE ON LAN MAGIC PACKET SENDER PERL SCRIPT INSTALLDetermine MAC Address and Install Magic Packet Software If your NIC is built in to your motherboard you don’t have to worry about this. If you also have a PCI NIC it should have come with this wire and your motherboard manual should show you were the correct 3-pin interface is located. I also had to connect my PCI NIC to my motherboard using a 3-pin wire. If your network interface card (NIC) is in a PCI slot you may also have to enable a power management feature called something like “wake on PCI”. Instead I had to navigate to the power management settings and enable a feature called “awake from RING/LAN” (sometimes called “power on from MAC”). Look around for a WOL setting and enable it if you find it. To determine if your machine does, enter your BIOS configuration screen. Configure Your BIOS and Hardware for Wake-On-LANĪlthough not every motherboard supports WOL, most ATX motherboards do. If you want to activate WOL on your computer I give you some pointers below. Now, I simply open a terminal and type a one line command to turn on my server. I implemented this feature on the Ubuntu LAMP server that I use at home. A magic packet is a data packet that contains the hexadecimal sequence FF FF FF FF FF FF followed by sixteen repetitions of the target computer’s MAC address. It is called wake-on-LAN (WOL) and gives you the ability to wake a computer simply by sending it a “magic packet” from any other machine on the local area network (LAN). Most motherboards have a feature that I have been aware of for some time but have not tried until recently. ![]()
