Send a Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet

Demonstrates Socket.SendWakeOnLan, which sends a Wake-on-LAN magic packet for a MAC address to a UDP broadcast address and port.

Background. The MAC address is six bytes written as hexadecimal. Wake-on-LAN wakes a powered-down machine on the local network that has the feature enabled.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

var socket = new CkSocket();

//  Send a Wake-on-LAN magic packet to wake a machine by its MAC address.  The MAC is six bytes
//  written as hexadecimal, and the packet is sent to the UDP broadcast address and port.
success = socket.SendWakeOnLan("000102030405",9,"255.255.255.255");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Wake-on-LAN packet sent.");
