Hi there,
I work with fvdw-sl firmware version 15-0. I am looking for a way to schedule start up times for my Nas, e.g. from Monday to Friday start up the Nas on 07.00 am and on Saturday and Sunday start up the Nas on 2.00 pm.
I found in the menu Cron Scheduler>>Schedule Servers the option to make cron jobs for shutting down the Nas, but I did not find a way to make cron jobs or something similar for scheduling start up of the Nas.
Thanks for a hint in advance,
lacix

Hi lacix,

You can not do that.

See http://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1543&p=13008#p13008

What is the reason behind wanting to do this? Maybe there is some other solution to the actual "problem".

I have my NAS on 24/7...it's in the same room as i sleep but it rarely disturbs me. Sometimes the disc seems to whirl up for no reason now and again but i've no idea why.

Some routers (AVM fritz.box) have the ability to send a WOL magic packet if a client sends a data package to the NAS.

it could be done by adding some code to the binaries used to enter WOL mode.
However WOL mode on Lacies' isn't real WOL mode because the hardware NIC doesn't support it. The software fakes a WOL situation. it means the cpu is running and NIC is up and a small program is running to check for magic packets. The biggest saving is that the hardddisk is not spinning and that nobody can access the nas in this period.
If not in WOL mode the hard disk will spin down by itself after a period of inactivity, but dpendent on active programs it can happen that it spins up.
So basically WOL mode has little added value
