More Information

About Wake on LAN: After Wake on LAN is enabled for your DiskStation, you can turn on Synology DiskStation

over the local area network or the Internet by using a WOL (Wake on LAN) application. Activate the function by

entering DiskStation’s IP address (or DDNS hostname) and MAC address.

Wake on LAN works only after Synology DiskStation is shut down properly by pressing the Power button or

selecting Shutdown from DSM's Main Menu, and its power cord is plugged into a working power outlet.

Note: You can also perform Wake on LAN for supported Synology DiskStation with Synology Assistant. See the

Help of Synology Assistant for more information.

Wake on LAN is supported on specific models only. Visit www.synology.com for more information.
