Abstract:
1. A Wake On LAN (WOL) test system, comprising: a network domain; an examiner end, a server end in the network domain, having a WOL test module, the WOL test module providing a user interface for setting a test configuration and sending out a magic packet according to the test configuration, wherein the magic packet is an information containing the MAC ID of the network card of the computer to be woken on LAN in any network transport protocol, wherein the WOL test module user interface comprises a MAC ID list, a test configuration list, instantaneous test info, displaying instantaneous test progress, test results in HTML format, a test function option and a test event list, wherein the test function option comprises any combinations of follows: the Shutdown/Hibernate, the Shutdown Test, the Power Hibernate, the Hibernate & Resume, the Power Shutdown, and the Power Cycle, wherein the test event list provides displaying, all of the test function options of the examinee end in batch; at least an examinee end, a client end in the network domain, having a WOL module for retrieving at least one MAC ID and uploading the MAC ID to the examiner end, and while receiving the magic packet, the WOL module wakes the examinee end; and an ILO (Integrated Lights-Out) management platform, a remote management service platform of the examiner end, providing the examiner end for querying the examinee end and operating the examinee end, wherein the ILO management platform is a remote management service platform provided by the ILO (Integrated Lights-Out) chip on the system board, wherein the examiner end checks if the examinee end has been woken up via an ILO (Integrated Lights-Out) management platform, wherein the examiner end checks, if the examinee end fails the WOL test a certain number of times if the checking result of the examinee end has not been woken up; wherein the examiner end sends another magic packet to the examinee end according to the test configuration if the examinee end has not attained to a number of times of the failing WOL, wherein the examiner end checks if the examinee end has a specified number of successful WOL tests, and the examiner end sends another magic packet to the examinee end according to the test configuration if the checking result of the examinee end has not had a specified number of successful WOL tests, wherein the examiner end checks if the WOL tests of all the examinee ends are finished, the examiner end continues the WOL test toward the next examinee end if the checking result of the WOL tests of all the examinee ends are not finished.
