The router can also be used to awaken a computer (that is on standby) if connected to one of the
LAN ports on the router by Ethernet cable. The computer itself has to support the Wake-On-LAN
(WOL) function.
To do so, you must add your computer as an Alias where you select the Protocol:"Wake on LAN"
and enter the MAC address of the computer's Ethernet LAN network card.
3.10.2 Aliases
To enter a home automation receiver into the router configuration, you must first name it in the
Alias Configuration page. To do this, name a receiver such as "Test1" (for example) and its
corresponding Protocol, along with House and Channel. This is typically adjustable on the receiver
device itself. Each entered alias must have a unique name, House and Channel. Upon entering
each individual alias, click on Add Alias.
How to configure self-learning wall-plugs:
Go to Automation>Aliases.
Insert an Alias lamp1 (for example).
Select the corresponding protocol.
Select a Unique ID or hit Random ID (any will do) and Channel (any will do).
Click on Add Alias.
On the alias you wish to pair with your wireless receiver, push Learn after having pushed the self-
learning button on the wireless receiver you have plugged into the wall. This will then pair the two
units together.
3.10.3 Groups
If you wish to cluster several appliances into a group, you can tick in the various alias boxes and
label them as a group. This is particularly useful if you have several lamps in a specific room (such
as bedroom), or several appliances within the same category; such as lamps.
It is also possible to create groups of days (for instance weekdays vs. weekends) in order to
simplify clustering of events.
3.10.4 Scheduler
Allows you to schedule in events to power on/off individual/all devices around the home. Besides
applying general daily rules, it also allows you to create specific one-time events.
You can also control what time Ethernet LAN and WiFi clients should be able to access the
Internet. For example, specific rules can be created to allow Internet access between Monday to
Friday between 08:00 to 17:00, whereas all other times it will not be possible to access the the
Internet. The router will still be connected to the Internet, however your network devices will be
blocked from accessing the Internet.
3.10.5 Manual control
You can manually control the aliases throughout your home via the web interface in the router. To
do so, go to the Automation->Manual control page and select which device(s) you would like to
control. Select the state of operation you'd like each alias to be (ON or OFF) and push Execute.
