RE: Wake on ring

Could just what? I didn't think it would assert RI, but Alex Goodyear seems
to think it does. I'll get there but it may mean cutting the serial plu of
my current cable, and bridging pins!

Tim,

I posted this before but I think I may have replied to the wrong message
so you may not have seen it. I've recently been controlling my CM12U
directly from my serial port ans VB.

What the CM12U does when it receives an X10 signal down the powerline is
repeatedly send a hex 5a to your application until it receives a Hex C3
back. When you manually wake up your PC Activehome (or whatever software)
recieves the Hex 5a and responds with a Hex C3. The CM12U then proceeds to
send the data to Activehome which carries out the X10 commands. I really
don't think that the CM12U asserts RI when a powerline signal is detected.
I tried with my Fujitsu PC last night and it didn't wake up either. You
could just

Hope this helps


Andy

I still can't get my system to wake on ring via the CM12U. In order to try
to narrow things down I'm asking for some help.

Can those who have an ACPI PC try the following:

Put your machine into standby, and then send some X-10 data into the
powerline to see if it wakes up.

Obviously you'll need to enable wake on ring in the bios first!

Could you report back with your motherboard type, operating system, and
success/failure.

Does anyone have a serial break-out box? I'd be interested to see if the
CM12U does in fact assert RI when data is sent to the PC.

One thing that has crossed my mind is that wake on ring can be disabled,
and
that it might be disabled in my device. I can't think of a way of
re-enabling it.

Tim.
