Wireless And Screen Mirroring Options; Wireless Bands For Miracast-Certified Devices; Enable Wireless Settings - Polycom Pano Administrator's Manual

Wireless and Screen Mirroring Options

The system includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless communication options so your users can discover the
system on the network with the Polycom Content App or their AirPlay- or Miracast-certified device. You
can enable or disable these features as needed.
The animations that display on the Pano system home screen correspond to the system settings for
wireless communication and screen mirroring.
Audio transmission in Miracast mirroring is best-effort. For Windows 10 or Android devices, Miracast
audio-video synchronization isn't guaranteed.
Polycom Miracast implementation uses peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connections and is subject to the same
environmental factors as typical Wi-Fi connections are. Multiple factors can impact Miracast performance.
For example, your OS version, Wi-Fi or video card driver versions, and your computer performance level.

Wireless Bands for Miracast-Certified Devices

Miracast-certified devices require the 2.4 GHz band for negotiating a connection to the Pano system,
using one of three 802.11 channels (1, 6, or 11).
Once a connection is established, a device that supports the 5 GHz band can choose that frequency
instead of the 2.4 GHz band to avoid interference.
Note: If you enable Wi-Fi, the system uses the same 802.11 channel for Miracast-certified device
connections.

Enable Wireless Settings

You can enable the wireless communication features so users can share content from Miracast- and
AirPlay-certified devices.
Note: Enabling a wireless communication option doesn't automatically allow content sharing. You must
also allow screen mirroring.
