AD-HOC WiFi MODE: Arrive AirPoint devices are disconnected from the WiFi LAN. Each AirPoint
device broadcasts its own SSID independent of the WiFi LAN network.

Arrive AirPoint SSIDs should be check -boxed “FRIENDLY”
in the wireless controllers’ configuration (to avoid Rogue
Access Point Alerts and provide channel clarity).
Wireless Controller configured to separate CAMPUS
(e.g. VLAN 200-204) and GUEST VLAN (e.g. VLAN: 999);
separates the GUEST and AUTHORIZED VLAN traffic as
a good practice.
Arrive AirPoint directly provides
screen mirroring to Miracast
supported devices over
WiFi Direct.
GUEST Android/Windows 8.1
devices are simultaneously
connected to the GUEST SSID/
VLAN, and also to the Arrive
AirPoint device using a WiFi
Direct connection.
Arrive AirPoint acts as a Virtual Wireless AP
Receiver, broadcasting its unique SSID.
DISCONNECTED FROM CORPORATE OR
GUEST WiFi VLANs.
Arrive AirPoint SSID: ARRIVE-APxxx
Security: Add WPA-key OR leave Open
GUEST iOS devices will need to
connect to the specific Arrive
AirPoint SSID-Arrive-APxxx
before making an AirPlay
Mirroring connection. There is
NO simultaneous CONNECTION
TO GUEST WiFi LAN.
AUTHORIZED Android/
Windows 8.1 devices are
simultaneously connected to
the CAMPUS SSID/VLAN, and
also to the Arrive AirPoint
device using a WiFi Direct
connection.
AUTHORIZED iOS devices will
still need to connect to the
specific Arrive AirPoint SSID-
Arrive-APxxx before making an
AirPlay Mirroring connection.
There is NO simultaneous
CONNECTION TO CAMPUS
WiFi LAN.

Figure 7: AirPoInt as virtual wireless AP receiver
In Figures 8-7, it shows that:
1. The Arrive AirPoint device has no network or internet connection of its own.
2. Arrive AirPoint acts as a native receiver for both Apple AirPlay and WiFi Miracast capable
user devices. Please read detailed information on Apple AirPlay and WiFi Miracast
technologies later in this guide to better understand how these technologies work and
their individual capabilities.
3. The visual experience for the users depends upon the type of user device they are
connecting to the Arrive AirPoint appliance.

In this mode connected Apple Airplay devices have the limitation of having no
access to the internet over the dedicated WiFi connection and therefore only media
residing on the user device such as presentations, photos and videos and local
applications can be shared over the Arrive AirPoint. Apple devices can retain the
internet connection via their individual data plans from the mobile service provider
over 4G LTE or 3G networks and this will allow for both Internet and the WiFi AirPlay
Screen mirroring to function together.

On the other hand all WiFi Miracast compatible devices will be able to use WiFi
direct to enable multi-connect capability. So these devices will have both the WiFi
network connection as well as the Peer-to-Peer wireless media connection as the
