Does the Mac Mini support WoL at all?

by Poster Dec 10, 2024 7

I hope some friends with mac mini can show up and tell me. My own actual test cannot wake up through magic packet (but even vnc can wake up without any problem). There are also different opinions on search engines, some of which are successful and some of which are not. Let's talk about my Case: (pmset-g, womp = 1) Equipment : Mac Mini M4 Purpose: win pc sends Magic packet to mac mini through WoL software to wake up, and realizes program resume on mac mini Verification: 1. Execute ` tcpdump-i en1-x ` on mac mini (en1 is wifi) 2. Wake up through wol software on pc 3. macmini terminal output: IP 192.168. 1.7. 50071 > broadcasthost.echo: UDP, length 102 The output is as expected, udp port 7 and 9 I tried both. I also tried the actual mac address and private mac address of the wifi network card, but they didn't work. Friend V, can you help me find out what the problem is?

When sleeping, you can wake up through ssh, vnc and other connections, but shutdown does not support any way to wake up

@ Anonymous4281 Look at this post https://v2ex.com/t/984439 many say yes. Is it ok for mac and not for mac mini?.. man pmset, womp-wake on ethernet magicpacket (value = 0/1). ------- Moreover, it doesn't seem to wake up when logging in with ssh alone (the screen is not lit, and the program doesn't resume from the log). Unless pmset schedule wake

womp is not WOL, but the setting item "wake up for network access" in the corresponding settings. The description also says: "While sleeping, the Mac can receive incoming network traffic (such as iMessage messages and other iCloud updates), keeping the application up to date." The ssh connection does not light up the screen. I have tried it before. The web service on the mac cannot be accessed during sleep. You can access that web service by opening an ssh connection to the mac. If you want to light up the screen, iCloud lookup mac should also be triggered. I just turned off the sleep mode, after all, the standby mode is only 4w.

I usually use the search device on the iPhone to wake up the Mac mini

@ Anonymous2775 is one way, but I don't think it's silky enough. Now just turn off sleep directly. Standby 4-6w
