Wake up ReadyNas by network ?
Hi, It will bee cool to have the possibility to wake up the ReadyNas by the network (with magical packet like 'ether-wake MAC ADDR' under linux). So, it is maybe not possible, because when the r...
If WOL were to be implemented wouldn't it cause serious problems with UPS operations? E.g. NAS has just shut itself down due power outtage when one minute (or so) of UPS power remains, then WOL occurs before power is restored, but UPS still has some charge left. (And since NAS is no longer using the battery it will last a lot longer than the prediceted one minute or so...) So next shutdown will occur during startup and it is propably not a controlled one.
So, it should work in a way that WOL is only accepted if NAS is not on battery at that time. And there might not be a way to detect this when the NAS is shut down. Right?
And I'd rather have the NAS automatically restart itself when the power is restored instead of WOL anyway since my NAS is on 24/7, but I understand that for HW reasons this is not currently possible...
