How do I use wakeup on LAN on Duo v2?
Folks, I have a Duo v2. I have it to be on for one hour a day to back up stuff then g back to sleep. However, the only way I can get it to wake up after it's aleep is go down and press the front pa...
BTW, on the x86 models there is a convenient trick you can use. Frontview backup on the x86 allows you to send a WoL packet when the backup job starts. You enter the mac address for each backup job.
So you can create a dummy backup job (which in my case backs up an empty share from my pro to my duo), which has the PC's mac address. The result is that it wakes the PC on schedule. Of course it can also back up a real share (or just let the backup fail, since the WoL is still sent).
I'm not sure if this works on the v2, since it might not have the WoL feature in its backup.
