However, a WoL tool allows you to log into machines at your convenience to avoid disrupting employee workflows and run important updates during low activity periods. Implementing critical updates can take some time and has the potential to disrupt regular work patterns severely. Whether you are offering technical support to customers or managing a company IT system, the freedom this feature affords ensures a smoother service for your business. For example, if the client address is 192.168.1.12, the broadcast address used in the packet would be 192.168.1.255.Wake on LAN capabilities enable you to turn on computers remotely all across the world, without any onsite assistance. It may be necessary to change the address to broadcast the packet to the whole network.
If an IP address is specified in the magic packet, then the network switch may not properly broadcast it to the whole network. Confirm that the MAC address used in the magic packet matches the MAC for Ethernet 1 on the client system. Confirm that the client system can be pinged by the system that is sending the magic packet. These settings can override the BIOS in Windows 8 or Windows 10. Check the NIC driver properties in Windows and ensure that WOL is enabled there. There is some interaction between the BIOS settings and the NIC driver settings in Windows 8. It may be necessary to boot to the Windows desktop after changing the BIOS settings in order for them to be properly applied. This power saving setting turns off the NIC. Ensure that Deep Sleep is disabled in the BIOS (not applicable to all systems). Ensure that WOL is enabled in the BIOS under Power Management settings. If there is no link light, then there is no way for the NIC to receive the magic packet to wake the system. Confirm that the link light remains on when the system is powered off. WOL does not work when the system is running on battery. Confirm that the AC power is plugged in. Once you have confirmed that the network cable is connected to the NIC on the system, if Wake On LAN still doesn't function properly, troubleshoot using the following steps: Ensure that any USB NIC Adapters are WOL capable, before any troubleshooting of the system. Systems without an integrated network jack will need a USB Dongle that is WOL compliant. NOTE: Most modern systems are equipped with a RJ-45 network jack.
