Exporter Pro can also be used to export either transport or WMI card address information. In Hyena, select Computer Properties, select the Network dialog, and look at the Transports section, or use a WMI query to retrieve the address. Use the WinMSD utility to view the network card address information. Issue the command 'ipconfig/all' on the command line to get all installed card addresses. There are a lot of ways to get the MAC address - some sample ways are: The MAC address is used since the computer is OFF, and any tcp, registry, etc. The key to implement WOL is to know the remote computer's (the one to be awakened) MAC address. Hyena supports the most common WOL protocol, the 'Magic Packet', whereby a specially formatted network packet is sent to the computer address to wake up. At that point, it instructs the computer to turn itself on. The general technique used by WOL-enabled network cards is that even when powered off, the computer's network card still receives a small amount of power to enable the card to 'listen' for a special signal on the network to wake up. WOL-enabled computers must have a network adapter installed in them that supports one or more remote wake up protocols.

While there are a number of different protocols for implementing WOL, Hyena currently only supports the 'Magic Packet' tm technique.

Quite simply, WOL is a technology that allows a computer that is turned off to be remotely turned on. Note: Wake On Lan is a trademark of IBM Corporation.
