I did and it was less productive than spitting into the wind. They really don't care and have the attitude that the consumer demand will dictate others find solutions to their protocol deficiencies. At least that was my impression. It still befuddles me you just can't plug in a FQDN or IP address for Airplay to connect to.

Has anyone else attempted to voice concern to their Apple reps about their non-business-class features and reliance on Bonjour on these gadgets? I know they seem to listen to no one, and given their market share likely feel like they don't have to. But is anyone making the attempt to get feedback to Apple? The thought of architecting around non-standards-based toys just feels unpleasant. -Curious in Syracuse Lee H.

Mike, For a one off and minimal investment, I would bring up an Open-WRT or DDRT AP (or any affordable AP that is capable of doing WPA2-enterprise) independent from your regular infrastructure and make people join a dedicated subnet for that room (use NAT, and WPA2-enterprise). Connect the Apple TV to the wired port of the AP and broadcast a dedicated SSID. With WPA2-enterprise joining your RADIUS server you can make it secure. It is a "dirty" solution, electromagnetically speaking, but quick. If the conference room has too may users for one AP, create a dedicated SSID just for that conference room on your existing infrastructure and terminate the VLAN of that SSID on the same VLAN as the AppleTV Philippe Hanset Univ. of TN www.eduroamus.org On Jul 3, 2012, at 9:06 AM, Mike King wrote: > So I have Cisco Wireless, and I've just been asked to make Airplay work in a > conference room.
