[Elecraft] KPA1500 Wake On Lan not working

[Peter Dougherty]

Wake On LAN is not functioning on my KPA-1500 using the remote software. I
have the Wake On Lan and DHCP boxes checked in the Network tab in the
configuration settings within the KPA1500 Utility program, and the LAN
settings (including the IP address) are correct. 

 
The only condition in which the remote software (v1.27) can find the KPA1500
is when the amp is manually powered on, after which it operates fine. Once I
power down the amp there is no condition in which I can reattach the
software remotely-I must power the amp on from the front panel button. In
addition to this, just pressing the "connect" button won't do it either. I
have to press the TEST button, wait until it finds the amp, then press
CONNECT and it connects normally.

 

At the moment this isn't a deal breaker, but I intend to remote the amp next
week to a relatively inaccessible space in the basement so I'd like to get
this solved as soon as possible. 

 

As a side issue, the DHCP IP address had changed at some point, and the
remote software did NOT pick up the change. I had to hunt in my router for
the MAC address and enter the new IPV4 address manually into the remote
software.
