S3 Sleep Mode

[Alekxs]

Greetings to all,
I was looking for an Intel based Asustor NAS because, for an home use case, I would like to take advantage of Sleep Mode feature and saving bills.

According to this guide https://www.asustor.com/en/online/Colle ... pic=104#a3 , if I want to wake the NAS up from sleep mode, I should previously press a digital "wake" button either from a mobile app or a web interface .
My question is: is it possible to wake the NAS automatically as soon as the client is trying to connect to it or the previous step is mandatory?

Thanks in advance
Alekxs

Hi,

As I know it's not manageable by ADM ...
BUT
1 ... use ethtool in a root terminal to look at the capability of your card ...
ex.
ethtool eth0 | grep "Supports Wake-on'
... responses is a list of letter ... ex. pumng
... for ex. b is wake on broadcast and g if wake on magic packet (send by wakeonlan tools on any system Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, IOS, etc.)
... the interesting choice for you is p wake on any activity ... take attention that ANY activity is ANY so a simple SMB broadcast can wake up the NAS ...
... get actual choice : ethtool | grep "Wake-on" ... generally : g
... change it : ethtool --change eth0 wol p ... ... AND VERIFY
... no you have to wait and see

2 the best way is to combine IN the client the wake--up (wakeonlan) with the start of the application ...

3 remember that NAS is build to run 7/7 24/24 ... for my own it's the case from years for some of my NAS (arm64 and Intel)

4 don't forget the scheduling power in ADM to for ex. stop NAS at time and wake up (start) at another time (ex. during the night)
