WOL Usage

Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is a protocol standard that allows your PC/Smartphone to turn on a computer via your local network or the Internet.

Note: The operation of VIM2, VIM3 and Edge is almost the same, so this document will take VIM2 as an example.

VIM2, VIM3 and Edge are different from VIM1, as it supports the WOL-function.

Firstly, you have to connect VIM2 to your LAN, then get the Ethernet MAC address.
