| + | # Wake on Lan (WoL) |
| + | |
| + | To configure Wake on Lane, we'll have to both configure the Network Interface Card (NIC) and the BIOS. |
| + | <br/> |
| + | |
| + | ## BIOS Configuration |
| + | <br/> |
| + | |
| + | ## NIC & Power Configuration |
| + | When logged into your PC, open Terminal in administrator mode. Then type in the following command: |
| + | ```shell |
| + | powercfg /hibernate off & start ncpa.cpl |
| + | ``` |
| + | *The first part of the command `powercfg /hibernate off`will turn off the PC's ability to hibernate. This can cause issues with WoL. The second part `start ncpa.cpl` will open the network connections control panel.* |
| + | |
| + | Now we need to <kbd>right click</kbd> the network interface card (NIC) you want to configure Wake on Lan (WoL) for, followed by `Properties`. Once opened, click the `Configure` button. |
| + | |
| + | Let's start with the "Advanced" tab and select the following from the list menu. Not all computers will have all these options available: |
| + | - Energy Efficient Ethernet > Off. |
| + | - Wake from power off state > Enabled. |
| + | - Wake from S0ix on Magic Packet > Enabled. |
| + | - Wake on Link Settings > Forced. |
| + | - Wake on Magic Packet > Enabled. |
| + | - Wake on Pattern Match > Enabled. |
| + | Click "OK". |
| + | |
| + | Head over to the "Power Management" tab and do the following: |
| + | - Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power > Activated |
| + | - Allow this device to wake the computer > Activated. |
| + | - Only allow magic packet to wake the computer. |
| + | <br/> |
| + | |
| + | ## Install & use a WoL Software |
