Then I found WakeOnLan for use from the command line. I found this hint on your site but it doesn't really do what I wanted. That's why I started looking for another way of waking up the device automatically.
According to the manual this function should remember the MAC address after the first use but it does not. The device has a software called LaCie Network Assistant and there is a function to Wake Up the device. I purchased a LaCie NAS device, and I make use the Deep Sleep mode available on the device to reduce the power comsumption.
