Wake on LAN extention for SSL explorer

It is nice to have an extension for Wake on LAN. You can save some electric cost to control workstations and devices that are not used all the time. Of course the devices should support WOL function.

I found an extention from web(googling) and linked below.

(ATTN: I just provide a link to download)

How it works? Basically, script sending(broadcast) magic frame on the same broadcast domain. Workstation that is enable Wake on LAN function monitoring the magic frame. When they have received it, it wake the machine up.

How the frame looks like?

FFFFFFFFFFFF + at least 16 times of MAC address that you want to wake up.

ex) MAC 00:14:D1:14:C7:B2

FFFFFFFFFFFF0014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B2
0014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B2
0014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B20014D114C7B2
