Wake on LAN and Wake on WAN
Wake on LAN makes it easy to wake up a sleeping or powered-off NAS in the same network environment as the NAS while Wake on WAN makes it easy to access data from outside the home and office without configuring ports on the connected router.
Wake on LAN and Wake on WAN do not require special equipment to use. Use ASUSTOR’s apps for phones and tablets to wake up your NAS while EZ Connect for Windows brings this functionality to PC. When your NAS is off, it is not only less vulnerable to malware and attacks but continues to save power while keeping your data easily accessible and equally safe.

Power Scheduling, HDD Hibernation and LED Settings
Want to save even more power? Schedule your NAS to automatically shut down on times you know the NAS will not be in use and power itself back on when needed. For example, shutting down or hibernating at 11:00 pm on weekdays and keeping it off throughout the weekend helps save power. After the shutdown is executed, the complete power saving mode is entered, which greatly saves power.
Taking the newly released Lockerstor Gen2 series as an example. Compared with 24 hour use, changing the scheduler to turn off the NAS for 16 hours a day, saving 67% of its total daily power usage. Assuming €0.60/kWh, keeping the NAS off for an average of 16 hours a day can help save up to €170 per year, although your mileage may vary. In addition to saving power, scheduling your NAS to turn off can help prolong the service life of hard drives, reduce the probability of attacks, reducing the risks of data loss. In addition, even if the NAS is powered on, ADM can intelligently turn off hard drives to save power and longevity. Want to squeeze even more power savings? ADM gives you control over LED brightness to save even more power.
