Wake On LAN Configuration

NetX side:

Open the device details page:

Click on Wake On LAN. In the dialog box set IP address and port:

The default IP address is a broadcast IP this means that if the IP address of your remote PC is 192.168.1.101 the broadcast address will be 192.169.1.255. Some devices use the IP address other broadcast address to use WOL.

The default port for WOL is 9 but it’s possible to change it.

It‘s possible to configure the WOL when the smartphone is connected to the same wi-fi of the PC to wake up (Local configuration) or to configure the WOL via internet (Remote configuration).

For example:

           Local configuration will be:

                            IP address 192.168.1.255; 

                            port 9

           Remote configuration will be:         

                            IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (public IP) 

                            port 29

PC side:

To configure the WOL on the Windows PC it’s necessary to configure:

                            BIOS (only in some cases)

                            Network Card

BIOS:

It’s necessary to enter in the BIOS with a key, usually in windows are F2, F10 or Canc and set to enable Wake On LAN properties:

Network Card:

Click Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager. Find your networking device in the list.

Right click on it and go to Properties, then click on the Advanced tab.

Scroll down in the list to find “Wake on Magic Packet” and change the Value to “Enabled.” You can leave the other “Wake on” settings alone. Click OK when you’re done.

Click on the Power Management tab and check: 

“Allow this device to wake the computer” and “Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer”.

Click “Add New” and set the parameters in our example:

Service port: 29 that is the same port that we have configured on NetX app in the “Remote Configuration” section.

IP Address: 192.168.1.101 that is the IP address of the device to wake up.

Internal Port: 9 that is the default WOL port configured in NetX.

Click “Save”.

Now you can wake up the PC also if the smartphone is connected to 2G, 3G, 4G or is connected to a different wi-fi network.
