Introduction
The ScreenBeam 3100 allows presenters with Windows 10,macOS,
iOS, or Android device to wirelessly display withoutrequiring any
apps. ScreenBeam 3100 offers a variety ofsecured network modes
to support connection from theinternal users on different subnets
and external guest users.
Overview of Network Modes
ScreenBeam 3100 supports local Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Miracast, andwireless
display over existing infrastructure network. Two or moremodes
can operate concurrently to support various scenarioswhere both
internal and guest users could simply connect andproject.
Local Wi-Fi
The ScreenBeam Wi-Fi mode provides the simplest formof network
for client devices to connect and project. In thismode, user needs
to connect the client device Wi-Fi to theScreenBeam Wi-Fi and
then select the receiver to mirror. Thismode is ideal for guest client
devices that need wirelessdisplay and or Internet access. Internet is
available if theScreenBeam receiver is connected to the existing
network,wired or wireless if bridge mode is enabled. Mobile device
withcellular service can access the Internet and wireless display
ifbridge mode is disabled.

Note: ScreenBeam Wi-Fi is fully secured and manageablevia
ScreenBeam CMS with options to tune the wirelesspower
transmission, channel and encryption type.

Wi-Fi Miracast
The Wi-Fi Miracast mode allows compatible Wi-Fi Miracastdevices
to connect directly to ScreenBeam, even whenconnected to an
infrastructure wireless network. Miracast iscommonly available on
Windows 10/8.1 and Android 4.4 (andlater) devices since 2015.
Users can enjoy wireless display andInternet access if the client
device is already connected to Wi-Fi.

ScreenBeam’s Wi-Fi Miracast network
Wireless Display over existing LAN
ScreenBeam 3100 can be connected to the existing wireless
orwired network and supports wireless display for client deviceson
either network. This is a common setup to support clientdevices
that needs access to network resources. Additionalport and
network configurations may be required for this modeto work
seamlessly.
Figure 3 Client device wireless display over existinginfrastructure
network
ScreenBeam 3100 can be connected to two different
networksconcurrently. This dual-network feature allows the
flexibility ofsupporting wireless display for either staff (on internal
network)or visitors (on guest network). Refer to the deployment
guidefor more details.

H. Expectations and Known Issues
Wi-Fi Internet is limited when connecting to ScreenBeamlocal
Wi-Fi unless ScreenBeam is connected to the networkand the
local Wi-Fi is set to NAT or Bridge.
If ScreenBeam is connected to the existing network,
someexisting access points and or controllers (i.e. Meraki
orCisco) may flag it as a rogue AP and restrict the client
fromconnecting. Consult with the network administrator to
flagScreenBeam as a friendly access point.
