Wake on LAN not working

avatar

Hello,
the Wake on LAN feature is not working here. I tried if for several devices so far with no success.
I entered the MAC of the device in the MAC field in Asset and then used the Wake-on Lan function in Macro/Scripts/Tools.

Right now I'm using this wol tool in a script and it works perfect.
WOL.exe 2.1 - Wake-On-LAN Utility - www.Gammadyne.com

Maybe you can have a look at it, what's the difference between your own WOL function and this tool enhace your own one. I would just appreciate to use the implemented function and some other people probably have the same problem.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the follow-up.

I’ll need to set up a WOL-capable device on my end, with assistance from our internal IT team. I’m aiming to have everything ready for testing by the end of tomorrow.

Once the setup is complete, I’ll proceed with testing and will follow up with you for further guidance or to report any potential bugs to our development team.

In the meantime, you can make sure that you are correctly configured to use WOL with RDM by reviewing this documentation article:

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Best regards,
