Default Canon 580 Slave flash Question

Does anyone know whether the Canon 580 flash can be used and triggered by the on board flash. In the manual its not very clear, it does mention about using as slave but only with other speedlites, I presume one on the hotshoe and it talks to all others. I have tried the speedlite in slave mode and pointing it so it can be seen by the on board flash but it just doesn't work. What I want to know is it able to to.
