3.3 Connecting Receiver to Infrastructure Network

ScreenBeam receivers can be connected to the network over wireless or Ethernet. Ethernet

is strongly recommended for stability and optimal experience. ScreenBeam receivers can

also be deployed on separate VLANs from clients provided the 2 VLANs are configured for

the client device to communicate with the receiver.

Note: Receivers behind a Network Address Translated (NATed) router will not work. Traffic

must be explicitly routed between networks.

If total isolation from a wired network is required, such as a guest network / room in a

business, ScreenBeam with Miracast is the ideal solution for most modern Windows and

Android devices and requires no Ethernet or WAP connection. If iOS/macOS native

screen mirroring or legacy device support (e.g. Windows 7) is required with isolation, a

sequestered WAP and router will be required on the Ethernet connection, and those users

will need to connect to the WAP prior to presenting to the ScreenBeam.

3.4 Connecting Client Device to Infrastructure Network

Connect the client device to the same network where the receiver is connected. This means

the WAP, LAN/VLAN and ScreenBeam must be able to see each other. Ensure the source

device gets a good connection to the AP. The recommended connection signal strength

should be good to excellent, i.e. beyond -50dBm (RSSI level).

Ensure the client device and receiver have a low latency by pinging the ScreenBeam from a

device in the desired connection scenario. A network ping response time under 20ms is

desirable to ensure excellent end-user wireless presentation experiences.

The IP address of ScreenBeam 960 receiver is displayed by default on the Ready to Connect

screen on the attached display. For older firmware revisions, or when this has been

switched off previously in the management console or through CMS, the IP address can be

displayed by going to the receiver’s management console and setting the “Show network

information on the TV screen” option to “Firmware and Network Info” or “All Info”.
