Controlling Multiple Players with one SlimServer Any number of Transporters or Squeezeboxes can connect to a single SlimServer. Each player operates independently of the others, so you can play different music on each one. You can also synchronize them to play the same music in every room of your house simultaneously. If you have more than one player connected to your SlimServer, a drop-down list will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the web interface so that you can choose which player to control. To synchronize multiple players with the web interface: 1. In the web interface, click on Player Settings, then Audio. 2. In the Synchronize section of the page, choose the player that you'd like to synchronize. Click Change. Wake-on-LAN Your computer may be configured to wake up when you access it with your remote control. This works by sending a special packet to the ethernet port on your computer; it does not work with computers connected via wireless network adaptors. To use Wake-on-LAN: Transporter™ Owner's Guide 25 Mac: Open the System Preferences and click on the Energy Saver icon, then click Options. Check the box "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access." Note that Mac laptops need to be connected to the power adaptor for Wake-on-LAN to work. Windows XP: From the Start menu, choose Control Panel, then choose Network Connections. Open Local Area Connection, then click on Properties. Click on Configure, then Power Management. Check the boxes marked "Allow this devices to bring the computer out of standby" and "Only allow management stations to bring this computer out of standby." Then click OK. Now, when your computer is asleep, you can press the POWER button on the Transporter remote to wake it up. RS-232 Serial Control Transporter has an RS-232 (DE-9 / TIA-574 style) serial port for controlling the Transporter and SlimServer via another hardware device, for instance a Crestron or AMX home automation controller, or your computer. The control protocol used for this interface is the same as the command line interface used by the server on TCP port 9090. For technical information on the protocol, please see the command line interface documentation in the SlimServer web interface, by clicking Technical Information under Help, then clicking on The Command Line Interface. The pinout of the RS-232 connector is: 1. Unused 6. Unused 5 1 2. TxD (Transmit from Transporter) 7. Unused 3. RxD (Receive to Transporter) 8. Unused 6 9 4. Unused 9. Unused 5. Signal Ground Infrared Input and Output Transporter is equipped with an infrared input for control from other systems (IR repeaters, home automation controllers with IR blasters, etc.) Transporter will respond to signals on this input identically to signals received via the IR receiver on the front panel and can be directly connected to IR transmitter devices via a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable as if connecting to an IR LED dongle. Transporter also has an infrared output for the Transporter to control other interfaces, for instance turning on a receiver or preamp and setting the receiver to a particular input that the Transporter is connected to. This output requires an IR emitter connected via the 3.5mm mono connection and that the SlimServer IR Blaster plugin software is installed and configured appropriately. The IR Blaster software can be found under "Plugins" at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/ .
