Crestron AirMedia AM-USB-WF User manual

The Crestron® AM-USB-WF and AM-USB-WF-I USB dongles enable the
use of Miracast® projection technology with the AM-200 and AM-300
presentation systems and the CCS-UC-1 Crestron Mercury® UC
Tabletop Conferencing System. Miracast is built into the Microsoft®
Windows® 10 operating system, so no software installation is necessary.
NOTES:
lThe AM-USB-WF and AM-USB-WF-I are functionally identical.
The AM-USB-WF-I model is sold outside of the United States. In
this document, the term “AM-USB-WF” denotes both versions of
the product.
lThe AM-USB-WF and AM-USB-WF-I were previously sold under
different names. References to an AirMedia® USB Adapter with
Wi-Fi® Connectivity in other documentation concern the product
described in this Quick Start.

AM-200 or AM-300, the ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE,

Configuration
NOTE: The configuration of this device requires a working
knowledge of the AM-200, AM-300, or the CCS-UC-1. Refer to the
AM-200/-300 Product Manual (Doc.8254) or the CCS-UC-1
Product Manual (Doc.7844) at crestron.com/manuals for further
information regarding each product.
Use a web browser to navigate to the IP address or host name of the
host device.
1. After signing in, click on the AIRMEDIA link in the left-hand pane.
2. In the Miracast section, set Miracast to Enabled. A dialog box
prompting a device reboot will appear after Miracast is enabled.
Select Yes.
3. Set the Default Windows Experience to Miracast so that instructions
tailored to Miracast will appear when starting the presentation. A
dialog box prompting a device reboot will appear after Miracast is set
as the Default Windows Experience. Select Yes.
4. Set WiFi Direct Mode to Enabled so that if the initial LAN connection
fails, a Wi-Fi point to point connection will occur.
NOTES:
lIf WiFi Direct Mode is enabled, Login Code Mode must be
set to Random or to Use the following code, where a fixed
code is entered to login.
lFor the best user experience, Crestron highly recommends
setting WiFi Direct Mode to Enabled.
NOTE: For Miracast network requirements, best practices, and
troubleshooting, refer to the AirMedia Deployment Guide (Doc.

Operation
Connect to the Device
To connect to an AM-200, AM-300, or CCS-UC-1 with a Windows 10
device, do the following:
1. On a Windows 10 device, use the Windows Logo Key +Kkeyboard
shortcut to search for Miracast capable receivers. A list of capable
receivers will appear in a pop-up menu on the right-hand side of the
screen.
2. Click on the name of the desired receiver. In the image above, the
Crestron Mercury UC Tabletop Conferencing System (CCS-UC-1) is
used as an example.
3. Enter the authentication code displayed on the CCS-UC-1 or the
AM-200/-300 and connect to the receiver. Content will be shown on
the display device once connected.
NOTES:
lCrestron recommends Windows 10 version 1809 or newer
for complete support of Miracast. Windows 10 version
1703 is the minimum supported version for Miracast
capability. Previous versions may not ask for an
authentication code when connecting.
lMiracast devices use Wi-Fi based discovery. After
discovering a device, Windows 10 will first attempt to
connect to the Miracast receiver via any existing
infrastructure. If the connection over infrastructure fails,
Windows 10 will then establish the Miracast session using a
standard Wi-Fi Direct® connection.
Configuration
Once connected, the user may alter the projection settings.
1. Click on Change Projection Mode. A list of different projection
methods will appear in place of the receiver list.
2. Click on the desired projection method from the list.
