ION (and EOS) remote power startup and shutdown

Due to the fact that both ION and EOS are regular PC parts, I was able to figure out how to remotely start up our board. This is done through a simple Wake on LAN program by inserting the MAC address of the board, and viola! we have power. However, without tearing apart the board does anyone know how to remotely shut it down? Or if that's not possible, will everything work normally is we simply cut power to it? (by putting it on our sequencer- irrelevant but just in case you asked why)

 Feel free to use the power on idea, works great and hopefully someone will have some insight as to the powering down.

  • At present there is no way to remotely power down the consoles.

    You shouldn't 'yank the plug', as there is a small (but non-zero) chance of pulling the plug when either the OS or the Eos/Ion is in the middle of updating key files on the hard disk, which could require a Deep Clear or a file system check to repair.

    Wake-On-Lan is supported by Eos, Ion, Eos RVI, Eos RPU, Congo Jr and Congo LightServer.

    Hi Richard,

    I rang ETC London today about Wake On Lan and found out that it doesn't work through the EOS due to the 4 port hub on the rear not being powered on when the console is shut down.  The post above suggests this does work on EOS, is this no longer the case? Or Is there a work around?
