Set up Wake-on-LAN for Olares One ​

Wake-on-LAN (WOL) lets you wake Olares One by sending a Magic Packet from another device on the same local network. This guide applies to Olares One running Olares OS, Ubuntu, or Windows. It explains how to configure the device and send the packet from a phone, Linux, macOS, or Windows computer.

Local network only

This guide covers waking Olares One from the same local network. Waking it over the internet requires additional router and security configuration and is not covered here.

Before you begin ​

  • Olares One is running Olares OS, Ubuntu, or Windows.
  • Olares One is connected to your router through its Ethernet port. Wake-on-LAN does not work over its Wi-Fi connection.
  • You have an administrator account on Olares One.
  • A phone or computer is connected to the same local network as Olares One.
  • EC firmware is version 1.01 or later. To check or update the version, see Manage BIOS and EC.

Configure Wake-on-LAN on Olares One ​

Choose the setup instructions for the operating system running on Olares One.

Olares OS or Ubuntu ​

Use the same steps whether Olares One runs the preinstalled Olares OS or an Ubuntu installation. Run the following commands in the host terminal as root or with an account that has sudo permission.

Find the network interface and addresses ​

  1. Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to Olares One and your router.

  2. Open the host terminal on Olares One. On Olares OS, you can use the Olares terminal in Control Hub. On Ubuntu, open a terminal on the device or connect through SSH.

  3. Run the following command:

    bash
    ip address

  4. Find the wired interface. Its name usually starts with en, such as enp129s0.

  5. Record these values for the wired interface:

    • Interface name: The name shown at the beginning of the interface entry.
    • MAC address: The value after link/ether.
    • IPv4 address: The value after inet, without the subnet suffix. For example, record 192.168.0.92 from 192.168.0.92/23.
    • Subnet broadcast address: The value after brd on the inet line.

    For example, the following line shows the IPv4 address 192.168.0.92 and subnet broadcast address 192.168.1.255:

    text
    inet 192.168.0.92/23 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic enp129s0

    These addresses are examples. Use the values shown on your own device.

Check the Wake-on-LAN status ​

  1. Install ethtool:

    bash
    sudo apt update
sudo apt install ethtool -y

  2. Check the current Wake-on-LAN status. Replace <network-interface> with the wired interface name you recorded earlier.

    bash
    sudo ethtool <network-interface> | grep Wake-on

  3. Check that the output contains g in Supports Wake-on and shows Wake-on: g:

    text
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g

    The g value means the interface can wake the device when it receives a Magic Packet.

  4. If Supports Wake-on contains g but Wake-on is set to another value, enable Magic Packet wake-up:

    bash
    sudo ethtool --change <network-interface> wol g

  5. Run the status command again and check that it now shows Wake-on: g.

Setting resets after a restart

Some network configurations reset the Wake-on-LAN setting during startup. If Olares One stops responding to Magic Packets after a restart, check the status again and re-enable it before suspending or shutting down the device.

Suspend or shut down Olares One ​

Keep Olares One connected to AC power and Ethernet. Then use one of the following commands.

  • Suspend Olares One:

    bash
    sudo systemctl suspend

  • Shut down Olares One:

    bash
    sudo shutdown -h now

Start with suspend if this is your first time using Wake-on-LAN. Some network environments or power settings might not support waking from a full shutdown.

Windows ​

Follow these steps to wake Olares One running Windows from sleep.

  1. On Olares One, open Device Manager, expand Network adapters, right-click the wired Ethernet adapter, and select Properties.

  2. On the Power Management tab, select Allow this device to wake the computer, and click OK.

  3. Press Win + R, enter ncpa.cpl, and press Enter. Double-click the active Ethernet connection, click Details, and record:

    • Physical Address: The wired interface MAC address.
    • IPv4 Address and IPv4 Subnet Mask: Use these to determine the subnet broadcast address. For example, IP address 192.168.1.92 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 has broadcast address 192.168.1.255.
    Calculate the subnet broadcast address

    Run the following commands in PowerShell. Replace the example IPv4 address and subnet mask in the first two lines with the values you recorded:

    powershell
    $ipBytes = ([System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse("192.168.1.92")).GetAddressBytes()
$maskBytes = ([System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse("255.255.255.0")).GetAddressBytes()
(0..3 | ForEach-Object {
  $ipBytes[$_] -bor ($maskBytes[$_] -bxor 255)
}) -join '.'

    Record the resulting broadcast address to use when sending the wake-up packet.

  4. Keep Olares One connected to AC power and Ethernet, then select Start > Power > Sleep.

Waking Windows from sleep

Use sleep for this procedure. Wake-up from shutdown depends on Windows power settings and hardware support. See Microsoft's Wake-on-LAN guidance.

Send a Magic Packet to wake Olares One ​

On another device connected to the same local network, choose one of the methods below. Use the wired interface addresses you recorded for Olares One.

From a phone ​

The following steps use Easy WOL as an example. You can use another app that sends Wake-on-LAN Magic Packets.

  1. Connect your phone to the same local network as Olares One.

  2. Install and open a Wake-on-LAN app.

  3. Add Olares One and enter the following information:

    • Device Name: Enter a name that helps you identify Olares One.
    • Address: Enter the IPv4 address you recorded earlier.
    • MAC: Enter the wired interface MAC address.
    • Port: Enter 9.

  5. Wait for Olares One to start.

From Linux ​

  1. Install wakeonlan:

    bash
    sudo apt update
sudo apt install wakeonlan -y

  2. Send a Magic Packet. Replace <mac-address> with the wired interface MAC address of Olares One.

    bash
    wakeonlan <mac-address>

    The command sends the Magic Packet immediately. Wait for Olares One to start.

From macOS ​

  1. If Homebrew is not installed, follow the installation instructions on the Homebrew website.

  2. Install wakeonlan:

    bash
    brew install wakeonlan

  3. Send a Magic Packet. Replace <mac-address> with the wired interface MAC address of Olares One.

    bash
    wakeonlan <mac-address>

    The command sends the Magic Packet immediately. Wait for Olares One to start.

From Windows ​

The following steps use Magic Packet Utility as an example. You can also use another Wake-on-LAN tool.

  1. On the sending Windows computer, download Magic Packet Utility, extract magic_packet_utility.zip, and open MAGPAC.EXE.

  2. Select Magic Packets > Power On One Host.

  3. Fill in both fields:

    • IP Broadcast Address: The broadcast address of the subnet containing Olares One, such as 192.168.1.255. Replace the default value with your actual broadcast address.
    • Destination Ethernet Address: The wired interface MAC address of Olares One.

  4. Click Send and wait for Olares One to wake.

Use PowerShell (no download required)

On the sending computer, open PowerShell and replace <mac-address> and <broadcast-address> with the values you recorded. Separate the MAC address pairs with colons or hyphens, for example 84:F7:58:3F:72:29. Run the following script to send the wake-up packet:

powershell
$mac = "<mac-address>"
$broadcast = "<broadcast-address>"
$macBytes = [byte[]]($mac -split '[:-]' | ForEach-Object {
  [Convert]::ToByte($_, 16)
})
$packet = [byte[]](,0xFF * 6 + ($macBytes * 16))
$udp = [System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient]::new()
$udp.EnableBroadcast = $true
[void]$udp.Send($packet, $packet.Length, $broadcast, 9)
$udp.Close()

Troubleshooting ​

If Olares One does not wake:

  • Make sure it remains connected to AC power and Ethernet.

  • Make sure the sending device is on the same local network.

  • Check that you entered the MAC address of the wired interface, not the Wi-Fi interface.

  • Check that the broadcast address in the sending tool matches the subnet containing Olares One.

  • Check that the EC firmware is version 1.01 or later.

  • On Olares OS or Ubuntu, confirm that ethtool shows Wake-on: g before suspending or shutting down Olares One.

  • On Windows, confirm that Allow this device to wake the computer is selected for the wired adapter and that Olares One is asleep. If it still does not wake, check that Wake on Magic Packet is enabled on the adapter's Advanced tab, if available.

  • If waking from a shutdown does not work, suspend Olares One and try again.

  • Check whether your router isolates Wi-Fi devices from wired devices. If client isolation is enabled, the Magic Packet might not reach Olares One.

  • On Linux or macOS, try sending the packet to your subnet broadcast address:

    bash
    wakeonlan -i <broadcast-address> <mac-address>
