22.6 Wake On LAN
Wake On LAN (WOL) allows you to remotely turn on a device on the network. To
use this feature the remote hardware (for example the network adapter on your
computer) must support Wake On LAN.
You need to know the MAC address of the remote device. It may be on a label on
the device or in it’s documentation.
Click Maintenance > Tools > Wake On LAN to use this feature.
Note: The NBG-460N can only wake up remote devices that exist in it’s ARP table.
For the remote device to exist in the NBG-460N’s ARP table it should have had
a prior connection with the NBG-460N.

22.7 Green
Green is the energy-conserving feature of your NBG-460N.
When the NBG-460N detects no traffic in the network (LAN, WAN and WLAN), it
switches to low power mode. The device cannot send or receive packets during
this sleep time. It reboots the device after several minutes and starts the cycle
again. This feature is enabled by default.
