Re: [slim] OS X 10.6 & SB3: Use "Wake on Wireless LAN" feature?

2009-09-26 Thread lagosirio

Wow - cool, now it works!!!
Somehow the SB3 got stuck initially but now, if I have Mac and SB3 in
standby (connected via WLAN) and I push the red power button on the
remote the following happens:

On the first push I get "can't connect to squeezecenter"
on the second push I get "Waking up squeezecenter" and the Mac starts
up. However It seems that the Mac reacts too slowly, so the next I see 
again
"Can't connect to squeezecenter..."

When pushing the power button the third time SB3 becomes ready to
play!

Awesome - even if not yet really smooth.

Regarding the comments above: Yes, Apple hardware and OS can do this,
just tick "Wake for network access" in the OS 10.6 energy saving
settings. Seems that even the WLAN router needs to comply with the
requirements and the up to date equipment from Apple does, I have a
"Time capsule".

Sure, but this is wireless.  You can't use normal WOL because the
wireless interface on the Mac is asleep.  This sort of swaps it around
so you notify the access point you want it to wake up and then the Mac
checks in periodically and the AP tells it to wake up.  See that link
for more info.

So I think in order to become a 'shared item' you have to register with
Bonjour.  We actually removed our Bonjour registration code recently
because it wasn't useful.  But maybe someone could look and see if there
is an easier way to do this.

Re: [slim] OS X 10.6 & SB3: Use "Wake on Wireless LAN" feature?

2009-09-26 Thread Mnyb

SB3 manages over wlan but the server must be wired to the router, this
have nothing to do with the OS, same for Linux or win .

The Case is that there is no wifi cards that supports WOL , only the
ethernet nic /card port does.

And it is not only an OS and BIOS setting it is also a hardware
question.
Not all network cards support wol and some motherboards don't do that
either.
So you can be unlycky either way even if the OS supports it and
computer is wired to the router.

I WOL my server with an wireless SB3 and a Wired BOOM and the
controller .

[slim] OS X 10.6 & SB3: Use "Wake on Wireless LAN" feature?

2009-09-26 Thread lagosirio

The new Apple OS X 10.6 offers a Wake on WLAN-feature. 
As I know SB3 can make use of "wake on LAN" - is it even possible to do
that via  WLAN in this case? I have tried it but nothing happens.

My iMac is ready (waiting in standby). My airport hardware complies
with the requirements.
If SB3 is switched off in Squeezecenter-mode and I try to switch it on
while the mac is in standby SB3 is blocked - no reaction.  (SC version
7.3.4)

If SB3 is not yet ready for this - is it thinkable that a new SB3
firmware will have that feature?
