1.5 Power Management

The MaxNAS can turn itself on and off according to a user preset schedule. To control the power schedule, navigate to “Status” -> “Power Management.” To enable the scheduler, check “Enable Timer” as shown right. Enter the desired times to power on and off for each day of the week, and click Apply to activate. In order to access the MaxNAS during its scheduled downtime, the system employs the “Wake on LAN (WOL)” protocol. To enable WOL, navigate to “Status” -> “Wake up on LAN” and enable the service.

Note:

The MaxNAS will only wake in response to a special network command specific to the Wake on LAN protocol called “Magic Packet.” For more information on how to generate a magic packet as well as WOL, consult your operating system documentation or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN
