Wireless Access Point & Casting
This switcher has a built-in wireless access point that can be used to cast content via AirPlay or Miracast. There are
three modes for the AP.
Router Mode: This is the default mode. When connecting to the AP in this mode, the switcher acts as a bridge to an
existing network via its LAN connection. This is useful if there is no existing Wi-Fi network available and you wish to
use the switcher as the primary wireless AP.
Router Disabled
: This mode doesn’t allow the switcher to bridge
the wireless connection to its LAN port. This mode
is useful if you wish to isolate the wireless casting from an enterprise/existing network. When clients connect to the
switcher’s AP in this
mode, they will only be able to wirelessly cast content. They will not have internet access.
AP Disabled: This mode completely disables the built-in AP. This mode should be used when you plan to use an
existing network’s access point
(s). This requires a LAN connection to the switcher in order for it to be found and
discoverable on the existing network.
There are a number of additional settings related to the AP and screen casting. The AP password can be set to a
custom value. This must be an alphanumeric value. It cannot contain special characters or spaces.
Casting can be discretely enabled or disabled separately to the access point. If you wish to leave the access point
enabled but disable Airplay and Miracast abilities, disable the BYOD functionality.
Also related to screen casting is an access code. By default, no access code is set, however you can enable this
feature as an extra layer of security to prevent accidental or malicious casting. The access code can be either a static
4-digit number or uniquely generated each time a new casting session is attempted by checking the Auto box.
