Transporter™ Owner’s Guide
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:
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:

2. TxD (Transmit from Transporter)

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
