The Network clock (or Wake on LAN - WOL) is a convenient feature that allows you to remotely start off machines, provided they are configured to accept this command.

How does it work?

Accessible from the Medulla main menu, this feature displays a list of machines compatible with the network alarm. You will be able to take control remotely and manage the ignition of the stations without having to move physically.

Information available for each machine:

  • Name of machine : Identifier of the post you want to wake up.

  • Current status : Display the status of the machine (online or offline).

  • Action button : Lets you try to wake up the selected machine. A click on this button will try to send the alarm command.

Prerequisite:

The Wake-on-LAN based on an adequate configuration of the BIOS/UEFI of the positions. Make sure this feature is enabled on the machines before you can wake them up remotely.

Typical uses:

  • Start groups of machines before an operation deployment or maintenance.

  • Wake up computers for update or to launch backups during the night, in order not to disrupt the business activity during the day.

Benefits of Wake on LAN:

  • Time savings : Start multiple machines simultaneously remotely.

  • Flexibility : Keeps computer stations up to date and performs maintenance operations without physical intervention.

  • Increased productivity : Ideal for IT teams that have to manage a large number of machines without disturbing users.

This feature is based on the BIOS/UEFI settings of the stations (Wake-on-LAN must be enabled)

Typical use

  • Start a group of positions remotely before deployment

  • Wake up computers to keep them up to date or run backups at night
