Introduction to Wake-On-LAN: Leveraging MC-WOL from MatCode.Com

iWin68 is proud to announce that we have officially acquired the website MatCode.com. All the advanced technologies in the iWin68 Club Game are a direct inheritance from the unique products of MatCode. To express our gratitude and to broaden the impact of these products to a larger user community, we have decided to continue to develop and enhance the products of Mat Code. We believe that this merger will not only enrich the development trajectory of iWin68 but also bring added value to our customers and users.
  The software you're describing seems to be a Wake-On-LAN (WOL) utility, which is a tool used to remotely power on a computer over a network using a so-called "Magic Packet." This is particularly useful for system administrators who need to manage computers that are not physically accessible, for example, after-hours maintenance or updates. Below, iWin68 MatCode.Com break down the key aspects of the utility you've described and offer some insights into each component and how it's used.

lzmat

Available through MatCode.Com, this library boasts a robust set of features tailored for both personal and professional use.

mpress

This tool stands out for its ability to compress executable files without sacrificing runtime performance, making it a valuable asset for developers and IT professionals.

Remote Shutdown

This tool is compatible with Windows NT, 2000, and XP systems, catering specifically to environments that still operate on these legacy platforms.

Neat Surf

Developed by MatCode.Com iWin68, NeatSurf is a privacy security utility specifically crafted for users of Internet Explorer on various Windows platforms.

Key Features and Requirements

Wake-On-LAN (WOL) Capable Hardware:

  1. ATX Motherboard with WOL Connector: This is typically a 3-pin connector on the motherboard that allows it to receive a WOL signal.
  2. ATX Power Supply (ATX 2.01 Specs): Ensures the motherboard is powered in a low-power state that can react to WOL packets.
  3. Network Card with WOL Support: The network interface card must also support Wake-On-LAN and be connected to the motherboard with a WOL cable.

BIOS Configuration:

LAN Wakeup Option Enabled: This setting in the BIOS is crucial as it allows the network card to wake the computer from a powered-off state.

Using MC-WOL

Basic Command:

To send a Magic Packet to wake up a computer within the same LAN, you simply need the Ethernet MAC address of its network card.bash MC-WOL ethernet-address

Additional Options for Different LANs:

  1. /a ip-address: This is used when the target computer is on a different LAN. You should provide the broadcast IP address of the subnet where the computer is located.
  2. /p password: Some network cards require a password to process WOL packets. The password must be specified in Ethernet hex format.

Examples

Same LAN Usage:

MC-WOL 00:01:02:58:A3:C7 Here, you send a Magic Packet to the specified MAC address on the local LAN.

Different LAN Usage:

MC-WOL 00:01:02:5C:A1:B2 /a 192.168.5.255 This command sends a Magic Packet to a target computer in a different LAN segment, using the broadcast IP address to ensure the packet reaches the destination subnet.

Obtaining a MAC Address

Utility: MCGETMAC
  1. Usage: MCGETMAC ip-address or name
  2. This utility is used to determine the Ethernet MAC address of a network card based on either the IP address or the hostname of the target computer.
This command-line utility, by enabling remote wake-up capabilities, facilitates efficient network management and is particularly valuable in large networks or where systems need to be available on-demand without manual intervention.
