8.7 Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN (WoL) allows you to remotely turn on a device on the network, such as a computer,
storage device or media server. To use this feature the remote hardware (for example the network
adapter on a computer) must support Wake On LAN using the “Magic Packet” method.
You need to know the MAC address of the LAN device. It may be on a label on the device or in its
documentation.
