Wake on LAN

[Juan Carlos Coca]

I want to make a remote turn off and turn on with a Netserver LP1000r and LP2000r. It is possible without an additional card?
I Have a Vectra VL420 with TopTools agents and I can make a remote turn off with TopTools but I can't turn on the machine. How I can do it?

Juan,


Turning on the machine requires physical access to the power switch. If there isn't any power, then there can't be a process that is running that will "boot" the system.

There might be products you can purchase that can perform the function, but it has to be independent of the server - with it's own power source.

The integrated NIC(s) in these Netservers support WOL (Wake On LAN) and AOL2 (Alert on LAN). These features allow a server to be remotely powered up & down.
You need to enable this option in the F2 System BIOS, and install the AOL2 client software.

Where can I find the AOL2 Client software?

[Juan Carlos Coca]

I have installed the AOL2 Client software and I can shutdown the server, but I don't have any option to power up.

Sorry, there is one more piece of software needed to get this to work, "Magic Packets".
Note: This is NOT a Hewlett-Packard endorsement of this 3rd party software.

Ok now, thanks. There is any utility that permits the two functions (shut down & up)?
