Macos - Crestron AM-200 Deployment Manual

macOS

The same enterprise flexibility and control of installation options in the Windows
deployable application is also available for macOS. The macOS installer is a .zip archive
file containing the AirMedia application as an executable that provides the ability to
customize installations in enterprise environments.
The deployable application for macOS is available at
corresponding product page.
NOTE: A login for the Crestron website is required to access the deployable application
from the product page.
NOTE: For AM-100 installations, the macOS installer should be used for sharing audio
and video as the macOS installer has a user-mode driver that is installed alongside the
application. The driver is not available with the guest application version. For consistent
functionality, the PC may require rebooting after installation.
The macOS installer can run in the following ways.
Open the .zip archive file, and run the installer file inside.
•
After installation, the sender app appears in the macOS dock and the
/Applications/Crestron folder, and the sender app is launched. Upon installation,
end users will have a fast connection experience with easy access to the sender
application.
Use the .pkg file within the installer for administrators to silently install the
•
application on users' machines. The sender app does not run after installation
completes, and the UI is not displayed. Inside the pkg archive file is the
InstallAirMedia.app bundle. The app bundle contains the required
airmedia_osx_installer.pkg package file in the Content/Resources folder. On a
terminal, issue the following command to run the installer:
sudo installer –pkg airmedia_osx_installer.pkg -target /
The AirMedia sender application can be installed silently (without user
knowledge) on a macOS PC using Apple policies, MDM, or other similar
management tools. Options for installation of desktop icons and specifying
installation location are not available due to the conventions of the macOS
platform.
The deployable application provides flexibility when managing the challenges of AirMedia
rooms installed in multiple campus locations with various levels of employee access. To
address the various deployment scenarios, AirMedia provides the following methods to
access a room's connection parameters:
Room Lists: The AirMedia client application reads an XML file containing a list of
•
AirMedia rooms and displays them in the Connect screen as a list of AirMedia
devices that are available for connection
NOTE:
details, refer to "Configure Room Lists" on page 19.

Room lists require the creation of a config.ini file and an XML file. For
