Wake On LAN

only globally available for all devices (Options > Advanced options)

Wake On LAN is a feature supported by Scout that helps you start turned-off devices.

Requires
Wake On LAN is supported by the device and configured in the device’s UEFI/BIOS.

The Scout Server sends a so-called magic packet that is identified by the network adapter of the turned-off devices. The devices are woken via port 67.

The magic packet for Wake On LAN is sent as a broadcast (UDP, eLux port 20000 incoming/outgoing) within the current network subnet and cannot operate across the entire network. To wake up device in remote subnets, subnet directed broadcasts are required.

Subnet directed broadcasts

Subnet directed broadcasts can directly address the device’s subnet to be woken up via IP. The IP broadcast address of the relevant subnet is determined from the IP address of the device and the configured subnet mask. The magic packet for Wake On LAN is broadcasted (UDP) only within the addressed subnet.

An IP broadcast address for the subnet must be configured once in the Advanced options.

Advanced config

Option Description
Server name Subnet mask for subnet directed broadcasts (for earlier versions: IP address of Wake On LAN server – option also available in the Advanced device configuration)
Generate an IP broadcast address for the subnet The packet is sent to the relevant subnet (dedicated subnet). Requires a subnet address in the Server name field using the format /255.255.255.0 (Note the leading slash).
(only globally available in Advanced options) Example: To wake up a device with IP address 192.168.10.44, enter /255.255.255.0 in the Server name field. This causes Scout to generate the IP broadcast address 192.168.10.255 for the subnet. By default, this option is disabled.
