So far the list just keeps growing. So you get a long list, but you usually see everything. I understand that there's going to be "regions" added soon to the wireless code, so that will really help.
Usually the AppleTVs are named descriptively, but there's no way to keep people from connecting to the wrong ones. We constantly tell our users to use passwords to keep from getting hijacked, but there's only so much you can do. So far, I haven't had any complaints from other users being slowed and in general the mirroring works fairly well. Although, in the odd times when they aren't wired, we've seen lots of connectivity issues. However, with all that said, I really couldn't recommend going down this path if you haven't yet. AppleTVs just aren't ready for prime-time yet as far as I'm concerned. --Eric From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Hurt,Trenton W.

How do you keep users from connecting to the wrong apple tv's? Do you have the end users name them to the room and put password on them or is it up to IT to do this for them? When the display mirroring is happening between the apple tv and the idevice have you received any reports from other users in the same area having slowness or connectivity issues due to the high duty cycle the mirroring causes?

Then the controller handles the mDNS and you don't have to deal with Avahi. Works pretty well minus the fact that you can see all AppleTVs across the network.

Instead of using wireless we wired the AppleTVs. We are using a raspberrypi running Avahi right now to re-broadcast the bonjour advertisements over wireless. It's just a test at the moment, however, The AppleTVs don't necessary have to use wireless. I haven't seen this idea mentioned before, and of course there are other scaling issues.

If so how are you dealing with the time sync issue when the apple tv loses power?" Is that we don't deal with it very well. I met with our technical team yesterday and we are planning to limit the mDNS service to our 802.1x SSID only. As you know, to bootstrap the device to an 802.1x network, you need to plug in an Ethernet cable first to get the time set and then unplug the cable to switch over to WIFi. If the device loses power, you need to repeat the sequence. There is no current workaround that I'm aware of. Either we find a way to make the device happy to think it is living at the dawn of unix epoch or we wait for apple's promised fall 2013 ATV code upgrade to fix change things. -Scott From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU]On Behalf Of Hurt,Trenton W.
