WakeOnLan/Mount/Shutdown Plugin New 1.0/2.5.2010 WakeOnLan/Mount/Shutdown Plugin

What is the main function of WakeOnLan/Mount/Shutdown plugin ?

This Plugin supports the remote power on, power off, mount and
unmount of a fileserver or an other dreambox manualy over the
remote control or on boot and schutdown of the dreambox.

Which requieries are important ?

- To start a coumputer remotly. You need wake on lan.
If you will put on your remote computer, the BIOS and your
networkinterface have to support wake on lan. I'm not shure,
if the dremboxes support wake on lan. My 7025 does not
work.

Which components would be installed ?

On The dreamboxes and the fileservers a deamon/service
would be executed, to check if the remote computer is
online and shutdown the remote computer.

Additional on the dreambox works a plugin to control
the remote comupers.

How works the WakeOnLan/Shutdown plugin installation ?

Installation on a dreambox:

0. download and copy wakelan_1.1-r2_mipsel.ipk und wol_1.0_mipsel.ipk
heruntladen to nach /tmp
1. Make a telnet login
2. ipkg install /tmp/install wakelan_1.1-r2_mipsel.ipk
3. ipkg install /tmp/wol_1.0_mipsel.ipk
4. reboot

Installation on a linuxserver:

0. download and copy wol.gz to /tmp

graphical desktop
2. cd /
3. tar -xjvf /tmp/wol.gz
4. reboot

Installation on WindowsXP,2000, usw.

How can I configure the plugin ?

On the Linux/Windows server is no more configuration
nessesary.

Configuration on a Dreambox:

The configuration works with the wol.config command on
a telnet session. Enter simply wol.conf.

First you add a new remotecomputer. You need a
computername, the IP address and the MAC address.
You decide additionaly, if you wan't to put on or off this
computer remotly during boot and shutdown of the dreambox.
Optionaly you can add a remote NFS/SAMBA filesystem.

Haw can I calc the MAC address:

Linux: On a telnet session put in ifconfig.

Windows: Klick on start-execute, put in cmd and execute,
and put in "ipconfig /all"

How can I check the configuration ?

1. Make a telnet login
2. wolctl isonline

If the remote computer is online, wolctl says "Server () is online"
If the remote computer is offline, wolctl says "Server (rRemote computername>) is offline"

If the remote comuputer is online and wolctl says this computer is offline, then put
off your firewall shortly. Make a new online check. If the check works, put on
your firewall and open the port 25255 on the firewall for your local network. It's
important to check if this port is closed on the internet.

On the blue key of your remote control, you can check if the remote schutdown and
wake request works fine.

if the wake up request does'n work:

1. Check MAC-Adresse.
2. Check BIOS settings.
3. You can put a wake on lan request, with the following telnet command:
wakelan -m

On Linux you can check the Wake On Lan posibilty with the following
telnet command:

ethtool eth0

The following output tells you that the Networkinterface supports wake on lan:

Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g

How can I cancel a remote shutdown request ?

When the dreambox a remote shutdown request sends you have 5 minutes
to stop the shutdown request.

On Linux the telnet command "shutdown -c" stops the shutdown request.

On Windows execute with start->execute the cmd command and put in
shutdown -a or you can add a link "Cancel Shutdown" on the desktop
with the following command: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -a"
