Sounds like a good idea. :-) Michael

Once the bit is set to do this, system can be turned soft-off as with front case switch or OS shutdown but if AC power is cycled (wall outlet or PSU rear switch flipped) the system will need boot OS again to set this before being turned soft-off again.

Cool (mike puts soldering iron away). I would have never thought to look in windows for something that works before windows is booted up. Now it works with the PCI card but not the onboard so that's my next challenge. The onboard had an option to turn WOL on but there is no option to select the method. The PCI card has options of Link Change, Magic Packet, Magic Packet and Pattern Match, none and Pattern Match. Is it possible the onboard card only supports 1 of these options which is different to what I'm sending. AFAIK, the program I am using sends a Magic Packet. > Once the bit is set to do this, system can be turned > soft-off as with front case switch or OS shutdown but if AC > power is cycled (wall outlet or PSU rear switch flipped) the > system will need boot OS again to set this before being > turned soft-off again. Is there any way around this? I can get it to default to power on after power loss I guess. Michael

No way around it, have it turn on or use an UPS large enough in capacity to ride through typical outtage periods... if you set the UPS software to turn the system off so it's only using 5W or so instead of a few dozen to hundreds, the UPS can run for quite a bit longer though come to think of it I don't know what the bare minimum load on a typical UPS is in order for it to stay regulated, stay on. |
