Hello,
I use my LS-WXL in a custom sleep mode, using WOL to wake it when I need it. My automated processes (backups etc) always send a magic packet and wait for 3 minutes... regardless of the Linkstation's actual state; asleep or awake.
Is it possible to know when it is asleep? It responds to pings whether asleep or awake. Ditto arping. I'd like to have a way of interrogating the Linkstation's state.
No problem if not possible, just something I'd like to be able to do. Thanks.
Edit: No worries, I've found out how, using netcat...
nc -zw 1 <NAS_IP> 22 # 22 is port
that returns 0 if the device is awake
