Wake up ReadyNas by network ?

What do I have to do to send another PC a signal to wake up???

I suggest googling for wake-on-lan and bios.

Another request for wake-on-lan. Every once in a while, while travelling, I realize I need to access the NAS box over my VPN. I usually turn it off for extended trips, it would be nice to be able to start it up like I do my linux box.

I agree on this one. Got the same reason for it.

...like to have WOL and customizable power down after idle time also.

Infrant, just do it! :shock:

Disclaim: c3po is an Infrant employee, but I am posting this
as an end user, do it for fun only
Big Warning: Do it will surely avoid warranty, maybe I
should not post it in first place. Do not ask me or Infrant on
supporting this. I hope that our community can help each other
by study NIC & ReadyNAS WOL interface. Moderator, feel free
to remove this post.

The thing starts when I saw a NIC card with WOL cable, it is very
old, no label, no driver etc, but FCC web site is GREAT, search
the FCC ID come up this:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/oet/forms/reports/Search_Form.hts?mode=Edit&form=Exhibits&application_id=92736&fcc_id=EJMNPDALBANY

As you can see on page 4 of their schematic, WOL cable has
only three signals: 1(5V Standby, ATX purple wire) 2(GND, any
ATX black wires) 3(52ms positive Wake pulse) The only down side
is that we need to invert it before connect to power switch push button

Connection here: (you will need one transistor and one resistor)

Now you can wake up ReadyNAS

:lol:

Please, c3po, could you help us with that kind of electronics for our little FAN1 mod? (See Proposal for fan controller issue). I'd surely be one of your beta-testers! ;)

C3PO,
An obvious question - Can we get that added to the next revision of your ReadyNAS products?

Would just like to ask - at some point if WOL is implemented, will the NV support it with just a firmware upgrade, will a hardware mod be required, or will the NV not be able to be modified to support WOL at all?

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...
