Wake‐on‐LAN

You can switch on, switch off or reboot the PC through the Admin panel. To turn on the PCs, Wake-on-LAN must be configured.

 

 

How to set up Wake-on-LAN

Wake-on-LAN is set up on the client gaming stations using the following algorithm:

  1. Go into your computer's BIOS and make sure that the setting like: "Wake on LAN", "Power On by PCIe", "Power by Ethernet" has the Enabled status.
    It is most often located in the "Power Management Setup" section.
    You can find information on your motherboard online or in your user manual.



  2. Save the settings and reboot the gaming station.
  3. If you have already installed SmartShell,  deactivate the client Shell.
  4. On the Windows desktop, click with RMB on Start and select "Device Manager".



  5. In the opened window, expand the "Network Adapters" branch and double-click the one to which the Ethernet cable is connected ﴾most often it will be "Realtek PCIe ... Controller" or "Intel﴾R﴿ ... Connection"﴿.



  6. In the opened window, go to the “Advanced” tab and set the points related to "Wake on LAN", "Wake on Magic Packet", "Wake on Pattern", "Wake from shutdown", to Enabled. The option names may vary for different network interface controllers (NICs), even though they perform the same functions.
  7. Set the “Energy efficient Ethernet” / "Power Saving Mode" parameter to Disabled.
  8. After all changes have been made, close all windows and install SmartShell or or resume it if it is already installed.

Important notice!

In order to switching on from the Admin panel could work correctly, you should keep one of the client gaming stations powered on. The gaming stations must be in a single local area network. If you have multiple local clusters, you should keep one powered on PC in each cluster.
