Patent Images
1. A first playback device comprising:
- one or more processors; and
tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first playback device to perform a method comprising;
maintaining a list of MAC addresses;
while one or more components of the first playback device are disabled, receiving a data packet that comprises a payload associated with a MAC address, wherein the MAC address corresponds to a network interface of a second playback device;
identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses; and
based on identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, enabling at least one of the one or more components of the first playback device.

Abstract
An example implementation involves a first playback device maintaining a list of MAC addresses. While one or more components of the first playback device are disabled, the first playback device may receive a data packet that comprises a payload associated with a MAC address. The MAC address may correspond to a network interface of a second playback device. The first playback device may identify the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, and based on identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, enable at least one of the one or more components of the first playback device.
