Hi all,

 

We've got to grips with using UDP to control screens/projectors but wondered if anyone out there knows how to send a UDP magic packet to wake on LAN a PC from a Brightsign?

 

Thanks. Matt

    What is a udp magic packet? You can send byte arrays using udp, so if I knew what needed to be in the packet, it could be sent via  plugin or script.

    Hi,

     

    I was just searching for a solution when i came across this topic. I found this plugin to send a hex string:

    https://github.com/brightsign/BrightAuthor-Plugins/blob/master/UDP-Hex-CR-Command-Sender/README.md

    When you can send the hex string its simple a header FFFFFFFFFFFF with 16x the mac adress and no CR. I think the CR can be disabled in the plugin scripting. I have to look in to it later.

    The plugin has been modified and sends WOL packets, see the attached project file. I've got a version of this that runs through a whole heap of MAC's every 10 mins or so in the morning to make sure everything is awake.

    Hello everyone.

I am trying to run a computer with the script, but I do not understand if it is necessary to modify something in the script.

Can you help me? please.

thank you very much.
