also does not have any other connection leg to any other network. Any user connecting
to Arrive AirPoint SSID will not be able to receive any service other than AirPoint
wireless presentation sharing capability which only connects with AirPlay or Miracast
capable devices and only one at a time. Multiple connections are not possible and the
mode is receiver mode. So even if user devices can connect to the Arrive AirPoint, they
cannot do anything with this connection other than screen mirroring.

Wireless RF Concerns: Rogue access points are generally identified as a wireless SSID
which doesn’t belong to an enterprise network. You may see rogue access point in an
enterprise, from people using a personal device on a data plan to tether from their
phablets.
Your WiFi security team will have full visibility of Arrive AirPoint devices on the wireless
controller and these may be identified as “rogue”.
Advice:
Arrive AirPoint in P2P mode broadcasts its SSID and operates
on specific 2.4 GHz channel* The radio managment module of your
wireless controller tunes your WiFi to avoid interference with AirPoint.
WHEN USED IN THIS MODE WIFI USERS WILL SEE THE AIRPOINT
SSID ON THEIR DEVICES.
It will be prudent to inform users about the function of Arrive AirPoint
SSID and its function as a standalone wireless presentation device and
that it does not provide internet access to Apple iOS Airplay devices in
this mode.
The AirPoint device, unlike a personal tethered device cannot cause RF harm to your network
as it only operates on a single specific 2.4Ghz* channel and doesn’t change its frequency. The
radio management system of your wireless controller (such as Cisco CleanAir, Aruba ARM , HP
RRM) will tune your enterprise wireless RF network to avoid interference with Arrive AirPoint
installed in the rooms. If this is an acceptable outcome of the deployment use case for
several Arrive AirPoint devices in Peer-to-Peer Ad-hoc mode, it would be prudent to define
the AirPoint SSIDs detected in the wireless controller as a Safe/ Friendly AP so the controller
doesn’t keep alarming you.

2.4 and 5GHz channels.
