The wePresent WiPG/WiCS devices help users to bridge the technology gap,
allowing businesses and classes to enjoy the benets of wireless presentation.
When connected to a display or projector, users can mirror their content without the
need for connecting cables. The WiPG/WiCS products can be used as stand-alone
devices, generating their own Wi-Fi signal or connected to a network through the
LAN Ethernet port.
Windows and macOS users can share their desktop by installing and running free software called
MirrorOp (Sender). The MirrorOp software is available from the wePresent website and WiPG/
WiCS admin panel. Android and iOS users can share their content by installing the free MirrorOp
(Presenter) application available from Google Play and the App Store.

3WiPG/WiCS Device Installation
To Present content to a wePresent, users will need to rst make a connection.
Users can either connect to the wePresent’s own Wi-Fi signal, or when wePresent
is network-connected, through the local (wireless) network infrastructure.
3.1 Stand-Alone Connection Mode
No ethernet connection, own Wi-Fi signal on
Most wePresent models are able to broadcast their own Wi-Fi signal, becoming an access point/
hotspot that users can log on to present. Our range of models offers different broadcast options,
ranging between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (ac). All wePresent models that have ability to produce
Wi-Fi, can be used as stand-alone units, creating a secure wireless presentation environment. All
wePresent models support various levels of data encryption, ensuring your content is shared
safely and secure.
NOTE: Wi-Fi interference can cause of lag during a presentation. To ensure optimal conditions for
wireless presentation, always make sure that wePresent’s Wi-Fi channel is correctly separated from
other Wi-Fi activity, and that Wireless Access Points are not obstructed, or too far away.
Recommended Enviroment
Small to medium size room with clear Wi-Fi having no
more than 5 other access points.

3.2 Network Connection Mode (Option A)
Ethernet connected, own Wi-Fi signal off
The WiPG/WiCS device is able to connect to the local enterprise/school network via the Ethernet/
LAN port located in the back of the device using an Ethernet cable. In the network connection
mode Option A, the Wi-Fi signal of the WiPG/WiCS device will be disabled. Both guest and
internal users will access the WiPG/WiCS device through the access point (AP) on the
enterprise/school network.
In this setup, all trafc and wireless security is in the hands of the existing network.
Recommended Enviroment
Ofce or school with many access points currently
installed. Network connection mode Option A is a good
option in environments where more than 10 WiPG/
WiCS units are closely deployed. This option is ideal for
networks that do not allow additional Wi-Fi APs due to
security concerns.

3.3 Network Connection Mode (Option B)
Ethernet connected, own Wi-Fi signal on
wePresent can be connected to a network via the Ethernet/LAN port located in the back of the
wePresent. In network connection mode Option B, the wePresent will continue to broadcast a Wi-
Fi signal which acts as a wireless access point (WAP).
The gatekeeper feature can be used to restrict WAP connectivity allowing the WAP to act as an
additional network access point, or as an alternative (restricted) access point for guests.
This scenario allows guest users to connect to the wePresent’s in-room Wi-Fi signal, while internal
users connect over the corporate (wireless) infrastructure.
Recommended Enviroment
Ofce or school with many access points currently
installed. Network connection mode Option B is a good
option in environments where more than 10 WiPG/WiCS
units are closely deployed. Also ideal for scenarios where
no corporate Wi-Fi AP exists or the corporate Wi-Fi is not
open to guest users.
Network Connection Mode
(Option B) Basic Diagram
NOTE: If wePresent is broadcasting its own Wi-Fi signal, the Gatekeeper security feature allows to
customize network connectivity over wePresent’s Wi-Fi signal. You can restrict network
access – allow all / block all / internet only – according to network’s security level.

3.4 Network Connection Mode (Option C)
Ethernet connected, own Wi-Fi signal off
Your wePresent is able to connect wirelessly to the local enterprise network using Wi-Fi.
Depending on your wePresent model, it can connect over 2.4GHz, or 5GHz. To do this, set your
wePresent to Wi-Fi Station Mode in the ADMIN Panel. Once congured, both guest and internal
users can access the wePresent through the network enterprise’s access point.
Network Connection Mode (Option D)
Network connected as Wi-Fi Station, own Wi-Fi signal on
Alternatively you can set wePresent to Station & AP Mode. This will make your wePresent
behave as a repeating Access Point to the network enterprise’s access point. It is still possible to
manipulate the wireless settings to make wePresent broadcast a unique SSID, channel etc.
NOTE: If wePresent is broadcasting its own Wi-Fi signal, the Gatekeeper security feature allows
to customize network connectivity over wePresent’s Wi-Fi signal. You can restrict network
access – allow all / block all / internet only – according to network’s security level.
Recommended Enviroment
Ofce or school with many access points currently
installed. Also an option when corporate network consists
of segregated VLAN’s. This option is ideal when network
policies do not allow additional Wi-Fi AP’s and Ethernet
connection is not available. Additionally, if wePresent is on
a movable AV cart, it can still be network connected while
it is mobile.

3.5 Deployment Options for Guest Network Access
In conference rooms, classrooms or meeting rooms, network managers need to be able to
accommodate both internal and guest users and their respective network privileges. The standard
network practice is to have a separate network for guest users to access, either a VLAN-based
network or a physical air-gap network.
3.6 VLAN Based Network (Option D)
Virtual LANs (VLANs) are partitions that network administrators have set to provide separate
networks for internal users and guest users in order to match different security requirements. The
VLAN deployment diagram shows how the WiPG/WiCS devices communicate with the internal
VLAN and guest VLAN.

3.7 Data Transport
The WiPG/WiCS device employs a proprietary protocol to transport the screen data from a
computer or smart mobile unit to the WiPG/WiCS device. The data is encrypted and users
accessing the data will need the four-digit code shown on the display/projector when launching
the MirrorOp software.

4.1 Connecting Computers
Frequent Users - Software installation (advised)
MirrorOp Installation
For regular users presenting from Windows or Mac, it’s recommended to install the MirrorOp
software, (but not required). MirrorOp software installation can be downloaded from
wepresentwi.com, or from your device’s Admin Panel.
There are no additional licensing fees for multiple software installations across the enterprise.
Guest Users - No software installation
Download & Show
For guest users it is easiest to download and run a MirrorOp executable le. This le allows users
to launch MirrorOp and connect to one target wePresent, without need to install the software. The
MirrorOp executable le is available on each wePresent’s Admin Panel (or can be gathered
and offered from an alternate location).
USB Plug & Show
Customizable Plug & Show USB tokens can be created for each individual wePresent unit. These
will works the same as the MirrorOp executable le, but the le is accessed via USB instead
of downlaoding.
NOTE: Download & Show and USB Plug & Show are the quickest way to allo guest users to target
wePresent without software installation in as few as 5 seconds.

4.2 Detect wePresents
MirrorOp Device Discovery Scan
The MirrorOp software will by default perform a ‘Device Discovery Scan’ at startup. This Device
Discovery is a ‘UDP broadcast’, which generally won’t traverse network segments, therefore it will
only detect wePresents in the VLAN where the user is situated in.
Due to network segmentation, it may sometimes be better to avoid this Device Discovery Scan
and instead ‘target a specic wePresent’. Targetting a wePresent is especially useful when working
within a segemented network. The most obvious ways of targetting one wePresent is of course
Manual Entry of either the IP address or Hostname, as described below.
Since Manual Entry may be considered cumbersome in some situations, we have other options
that target a specic wePresent.

Device (SSID) Listing
To view a current listing of connected WiPG/WiCS devices,
click on the refresh icon from the menu on computers or
drag down the window on mobile devices.
Manual Entry
The WiPG/WiCS device allows users to manually enter the
hostname or IP address of the device in order to locate the
device. The hostname or IP address can be entered in the
“Input hostname or IP” eld located at the bottom of Device
Discovery Screen on computers. On mobile devices, IP
address or hostname can be entered in the search eld.

4Connecting to WiPG/WiCS Device
4.3 Target a single wePresent
Use one of the ‘Direct IP Methods’
When users are located in a restricted network segment (VLAN), MirrorOp will not detect
wePresent units located in other network segments. Users that are connecting from a different
VLAN, or users that simply want to connect to a certain wePresent, can use our Direct IP Methods
to target a wePresent:
- Manual Input IP, or Hostname
- Guest Executable le - see page 12
- Plug & Show USB - see page 12
- Device Prole (.mop) - see page 12
- Favorites
- PresentSense
The methods listed below are IP-bound allowing a straight connection to a single target
wePresent. These methods don’t reply on a Device Discovery scan allowing them to traverse a
segmented network. In order to communicate to a wePresent, any rewall settings must allow port
communication between the use;’s and the targeted wePresent’s IP address.
Make Device Discovery traverse VLAN’s
Device Discovery is designed to limit unwanted activity over the entire network, however, it can be
manipulated to work over multiple VLAN’sthrough alternative ways. Modifying Device Discovery
should only be attmpted by qualied IT professionals.
Forward UDP Broadcast
The Device Discovery protocol uses a standard UDP broadcast. Network switches can be
congured to forward these broadcasts to the wePresent’s network segment.
VLAN Tagging
‘VLAN tagging’ can allow Device Discovery locate wePresents in other network segments.
Correctly congured VLAN tagging will allow Device Discovery to detect wePresents located in
other ‘stacked VLAN’s’.

4.4 MirrorOp Software Development
Listed below are a few options for software deployments.
Guest Executable File
Users or the IT department can install the full MirrorOp (Sender) software directly from the admin
panel/web page of the WiPG/WiCS device. The option to download the quick executable
application (portable software) to launch MirrorOp is also available on the admin panel/web page.
Plug & Show USB
Click on the “Make PnS Token” icon on the standby screen to copy the MirrorOp (Sender)
executable le (protable software) to the attached USB drive. (Guest) users can launch the
MirrorOp executable le directly from the PnS token to connect to the target WiPG/WiCS device
Device Prole (.mop)
The WiPG/WiCS Device Prole (.mop) le provides a quick way to connect to a predened
wePresent. By dening the WiPG/WiCS Device Prole, a user can double click on the le and it will
connect his MirrorOp software to the predened WiPG/WiCS device automatically. In order for the
.mop le to recognized by your Operating System, the MirrorOp software needs to be installed!
From the wePresent’s IP based admin panel you can download the Device Prole (.mop). Y The
.mop le is a basic XML text le with the following template:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”utf-8”?>
<Devices>
<MirrorOp>
<Device>
<Name>USERNAME</Name>
<Device_name>DEVICENAME</Device_name>
<IP>192.168.100.10</IP>
<LoginCode>1234</LoginCode>
</Device>
</MirrorOp>
</Devices>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: IT professionals can easily manipulate variables in the XML le to create additional .mop
les for other units.

Domain Name Service
DNS - Hostname
An common way to connect to a target wePresent is to manually input the wePresent’s IP address.
Because inputting an IP address can be confusing for some users, it is possible to register a
Hostname for each wePresent IP address within your network domain (DNS). This allows users to
input the wePresents HostName in MirrorOp, instead of the IP address.
5.1 Admin Panel
The WiPG/WiCS device can be customized and congured through the built-in web pages of
the device called the “admin panel”. Parameters such as device IP address, WebSlides settings,
centralized management, and WiPG/WiCS connected (display) devices are set under the admin
menu option. The default password is admin, which can be changed.
System Status/Information Panel

5.2 Firewall Settings
The MirrorOp software communicates with the target WiPG/WiCS device passing through
network security systems such as rewalls. A set of rules need to be established so that trafc can
be ltered and passed through the rewall. The rewall administrator will be prompted by the
operating system to add a rule if a rule does not exist.
Port Table: The rewall administrator can allow or restrict certain data to be communicated from
the user to the WiPG/WiCS device using the port table.
