Results of experiments.	by ChuckAB	2005-03-08 14:48:26
D/L'd AMD's utility - installed - read instructions <gasp!>. Recorded MAC address from current test machine on bench and shut it down. Entered MAC address into 'Power on one host' dialog. Watched machine on bench as I clicked the 'Send' button. It turned on! Told program to "Create List of Hosts" using mask 255.255.255.0. It got everything currently powered up in my subnet. Weeded out what wasn't mine, noted 2 were missing. checks records Ah yes. My 2 problem children who don't know what 'leave the machine on and just log out' means. Just to be sure, I went to the cubes and checked - yep - machines were off. Entered MAC address of one into the 'Power on one host' dialog and then checked the machine (about 20 feet (~6M) away - it was booting!! Same for the other one - checked and it booted! OOOoo! A SERIOUS geek experience! Now I don't have to go physically turn machines on when I want to do backups!
