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...
Give us Wake On Lan, please!
I recently bought a ReadyNAS NV+.
It took me a while to get it installed and working, but now it seems to be doing just fine.
The NAS sits in the basement, with a Netgear wireless router/DSL modem, base station for the wireless phone and my main computer; all those are hooked up to a big (for domestic use) UPS. Up in the living room is a Vaio UMPC connected to our stereo and a MacBook. I had been mounting the NAS disc as an SMB share to play music through the Vaio amplified by the stereo.
Then I bought a Logitech Squeezebox, so I installed Squeezecenter on the NAS, and it now streams our music collection up to the Squeezebox, which is much easier to carry from room to room or out into the garden.
I've set the NAS to turn on at 18h00 each weekday, and turn off again at 03h00 so it's available when I get home from work until after I've gone to sleep, but it would be great to be able to use WOL to turn on the NAS, instead.
With the set-up as it is now, the NAS is on every day, probably used about 50% of the time. I'd rather have it off by default, and be able to wake it up as and when I want, saving on power and hours of disc usage.
