The DKVM-IP1 features a "Remote Wakeup" function. With this feature, all computers/servers on
the device's LAN can be shut down remotely and woken up remotely from the Remote user's
computer. The DKVM-IP1 can even wake up computers/servers on the same LAN that are not
connected to it or any KVM switch. This represents a great opportunity for saving on power
usage and electricity bills.
The Remote Wakeup feature allows a remotely located administrator to wake up any
pre-configured computer/server that has been turned off, as long as it is connected to the same
LAN that the DKVM-IP1 is connected to. The administrator can configure all computers/servers
on the LAN to accept the Remote Wakeup command(also known as Wake on LAN). After this
quick configuration process, the administrator simply has to log into the DKVM-IP1 via the
device's web GUI, and select which systems to wake up.
The target computers/servers first need to be configured to react to a Remote Wakeup command.
The DKVM-IP1 also has to be pre-configured with the address details of the target systems.
Please follow the configuration steps below.
Configuring the target computer/server for Remote Wakeup:
To wake up a remotely located computer/server via the DKVM-IP1, some settings have to be
pre-configured on the target computer/server:
1. BIOS settings:
Enable the wakeup function in the BIOS of the target system.
NOTE:
The naming of the wakeup function in any given BIOS varies depending on the type of BIOS. It
may be listed as Wake On LAN/PME, or PME Event Wake Up, or Power On By PCI Device.
2. Windows settings:
A. Enter the properties of the Local Area Connection in the target system. To do this in
Windows XP, click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections >
Network Connections. Different OS versions may have slightly different ways to navigate
to these setting menus.
B. Click on the name of your Host's LAN network. This would usually be "Local Area
Connection".
