Hi All,
I want to disable the Power Saver Options in Power Management Tab of the Network adapter via command prompt using PROSetCL.exe.
I want to mainly uncheck the below mentioned Power Saver Options...
- Respond to ARP requests without waking system
- Respond to NS requests without waking system.
Can someone please let me know how to do this.
My actual intention is to wake a system in the network by Pinging its IP address. The OS is Win 7 Ultimate.
I am assuming that i will be able to achieve the above by enabling the WOL options and disabling the above mentioned options.
In case i am wrong in the above approach , please correct me.
Regards,
Praveen kumar Araveti

If you want to wake up on a ping (or any other directed packet) you need to enable wake on directed packet. This will only work if your device supports that capability.
I do not see any reason to disable the "Respond" settings to get wake on LAN to work, but here is how to configure those settings using PROSetCL along with examples I captured from my laptop.
To change these settings:
- Respond to ARP requests without waking system
- Respond to NS requests without waking system.
1. Find the index of the port you want to configure. Example:
C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX\CL>prosetcl Adapter_Enumerate
Number of adapters currently present: 1
1) Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
2. Find the names of the settings for your network port. Example:
C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX\CL>prosetcl Adapter_EnumerateSettings 1
*PMARPOffload - Enabled
*PMNSOffload - Enabled
3. Find the valid values for the setting you want to change. Example:
C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX\CL>prosetcl Adapter_GetSetting 1 *PMARPOffload
1) Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
*PMARPOffload - Enabled
Valid Values: "Disabled"
"Enabled"
4. Change the value of the setting. Example:
C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX\CL>prosetcl Adapter_SetSetting 1 *PMARPOffload "Disabled"
1) Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
Successfully set value: 'Disabled'
You can check to see if your network port supports wake on directed packet using PROSetCL. Example:
C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX\CL>prosetcl Adapter_GetWakeOnSettings 1
1) Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
Wake On LAN Options:
Wake From Power Off - 'Enabled'
Wake On Directed Packet - 'Unsupported'
Wake On Link - 'Disabled'
Wake On Magic Packet - 'Enabled'
As you can see in the example from my laptop, Wake on Directed Packet is not an available option. I would need to use a magic packet to wake up my laptop.
I hope this helps.

Hi Mark,
That was very Helpful. Exactly the information i was looking for.
Even the board i wanna test shows " Wake On Directed Packet - 'Unsupported'".
Thanks a Ton.
