Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is a protocol standard that allows your PC/Smartphone to turn on a computer via your local network or the Internet.
Note: The operation of VIM2, VIM3 and Edge is almost the same, so this document will take VIM2 as an example.
VIM2, VIM3 and Edge are different from VIM1, as it supports the WOL-function.
Firstly, you have to connect VIM2 to your LAN, then get the Ethernet MAC address.
Ubuntu
Get Ethernet MAC address
1.MAC Address Sticker on the backside of the VIM:
If the sticker has peeled-off, you can use following steps to get the MAC Address.
2.On Ubuntu, type ifconfig
on terminal
$ ifconfig |
HWaddr 98:aa:fc:60:46:de corresponds to your Ethernet MAC Address.
Enable WOL
1.By default WOL is disabled. So you’ll have to use the KBI (Khadas Bootloader Instructions) to enable it.
kvim2# kbi trigger wol w 1 |
If you want to check the WOL status, you can run:
kvim2# kbi trigger wol r |
2.You can enable WOL in the Applications->Wake On LAN Setting on Ubuntu.
- Select WOL Mode.
Test WOL
After doing the steps above, we can test the WOL function.
1) Connect VIM2 with LAN
2) Power off VIM2
3) Attempt to wake up your VIM2 on Ubuntu.
- Install the wakeonlan toolNow you can wake up your VIM2 with it’s MAC Address
$ sudo apt-get install wakeonlan
$ wakeonlan 98:aa:fc:60:46:de
Android
Get Ethernet MAC address
You can get it from Settings->More Settings->About->Status menu.
Enable WOL
You can enable WOL in the Setting->More Settings->WOL menu.
Test WOL
1) Connect VIM2 with LAN
2) Power off VIM2
3) Attempt to wake up your VIM2 on Android.
- Download Wake-On-LAN Sender tool
- Add a remote computer
- Wake up VIM2 with this button
- Note:On iPhone, you can search for wake on lan in the App Store.
