[Elecraft] KPA1500 "Wake on LAN"

[Scott]

Joel,

For "wake on LAN" to work the network adapters on each end of the LAN or 
WAN connection (wired or wireless) have to be set to send and receive 
"wake on LAN" packets.  If the "powered off" machine is to be awakened 
then the network adapter that controls it has to be set to receive a 
wake on LAN packet AND also to allow the network adapter to then power 
on the machine.  Once the network adapter is set then any machine on the 
LAN that can send a magic packet can also power on the machine. 
Likewise the machine that is waking up the "powered off" machine also 
has to have it's network adapter enabled for wake on LAN and set to send 
the wake on LAN "magic packet" to wake up properly configured machines.

You didn't specify what OS you are using but I'll assume it's some sort 
of Windows. To set wake on LAN, go to control panel > network and 
sharing center.  There you should find a link on the left side that says 
"change adapter settings".  Click on "change adapter settings" and all 
your wired and wireless "network connections" should appear.  Then right 
click on the wireless or wired "network connection" that you are using 
for your LAN on that specific machine and select properties from the 
menu.  This will pull up an applet that lists your exact network adapter 
by manufacturer at the top and a configure button just below.  (Do not 
mess with your TCP/IP settings further down) Select the configure 
button, and yet another applet will appear.  At the top of that applet 
are several tabs.  Under the "advanced" tab ensure "wake on magic 
packet" and "wake on pattern match" are both enabled.  These two are at 
the bottom of the options list and you may have to scroll down to find 
them.  Then under the power management tab ensure "allow this device to 
wake the computer" is check marked and under that select "only allow 
magic packet to wake the computer" if so desired.  Then click ok.  This 
configuration will need to be done on the appropriate network adapter 
for all the machines you want to work with wake on LAN.

That should get your hardware on both machines in a state where they 
will work for wake on LAN operations and wake on LAN software.  Now if 
there is a configuration issue or bug in the remote access software... 
sorry but I can't help with that.

Good luck.
