XS708E and wake-on=lan WOL
I just got a ProSafe XS708E switch installed.
I have a couple of workstations connected to the switch but I can't get wake-on-lan to wake up these two workstations.
Sending a WOL magic packet from the workstations to other computers attached to another switch on my network works as it should. It is just the incoming wol packet that does not seem to get through the XS708E to the workstations attached to it.
This was working with the previous switch I was using (S3300-28X-PoE+), so I know that the workstation hardware and software are properly configured.
I cannot find any settings for wake-on-lan using the ProSafe Plus utility.
This switch does not have web gui access.
Any ideas?

Firmware version?
At the risk of disappointing you, these XS708E are by far not manged switches, much more Plus switches built on an unmanged core with some basic config options (by using the ProSafe Plus utility only (v1), or by the same utility plus the WebUI (v2). Therefore, I will suggest moderator moving this thread to the appropriate section for Plus and Smart Switches Forum to discuss Smart Switches (T) and Plus Switches (E), including Local and Remote Management models.

This is an XS708E-100NES North America.
Firmware version is 1.00.12
I don't really need many management features for this switch, just really need to figure out why the wake-on-lan is not being sent from the switch to directly connected devices.
Please keep in mind I'm -not- Netgear.
Sid that, a moderator Netgear Support must carry this issue forward to Netgear Switch engineering. Cumbersome is that most of these switches are EoL and it's very unlikely any QA or engineering efforts will be spent.
Last time I was using these models was about 10 years ago and long before the Beta phase was finished.
