Controlling Multiple Players with one SqueezeCenter

Any number of Transporters or Squeezeboxes can connect to a single SqueezeCenter.
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 SqueezeCenter, 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.

RS-232 Serial Control

Transporter has an RS-232 (DE-9 / TIA-574 style) serial port for controlling the Transporter
and SqueezeCenter 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 SqueezeCenter 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
2. TxD (Transmit from Transporter)
3. RxD (Receive to Transporter)
4. 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 SqueezeCenter IR Blaster plugin software is installed
and confi gured appropriately. The IR Blaster software can be found under "Plugins" at
