Module SENDMAG.NLM is designed for remote turning on of workstations and other servers from the NetWare server level. This program sends so called "magic packet" to a computer which is to be switched on remotely.

This effect can be obtained provided that the mainboard of the managed computer has the WAKE ON LAN function and it is set in the BIOS to the value ENABLED.

1. Installation of SENDMAG program on NetWare server:
   
   SENDMAG module (SENDMAG.NLM) should be copied to a controlled server to
   SYSTEM folder on SYS volume.
   
   

• Start SENDMAG.NLM module:
  
  The program can be executed immediately from a server console level or
  using CRON module it can turn on workstations and servers at the given
  moment.
  To start SENDMAG program one should use the syntax as below:
  
  

  SENDMAG /aNetworkIPAddress /mMACAddress /pPortNumber

  
  
  where:
  
  NetworkIPAddress - IP address of a network in which there is a remote
  computer that is to be turned on. This address should be given
  accordingly to the class of the network.
  
  • for the network 10.0.0.0 ( A class ) one should give as a parameter
    address 10
  
  
• for the network 172.20.0.0 ( B class ) one should give as a parameter
  address 172.20

• for the network 192.168.1.0 ( C class ) one should give as a
  parameter address 192.168.1

• Example of a program call:
  
  
  

  SENDMAG /a10 /m003C5678D0AF
  
  SENDMAG /a172.20 /m00CD34567890 /p2000
  
  SENDMAG /a192.168.1 /m1234567890AF

  
  

• A sample of the CRONTAB file used by CRON program:
  
  

  00 08 * * 1-5 SENDMAG /a192.168.1 /m0034567890AF
  01 08 * * 1-5 SENDMAG /a192.168.1 /m0054567890AF
  02 08 * * 1-5 SENDMAG /a192.168.1 /m0084567890AF
  03 08 * * 1-5 SENDMAG /a192.168.1 /m0094567890AF
  04 08 * * 1-5 SENDMAG /a192.168.1 /m00C4567890AF

  
  
  In the example above NetWare server will turn on remotely the stations
  with the given MAC addresses every day from monday to friday in
  succession from 8.00 till 8.04 o'clock.
