Appendix B. Enable iOS Sharing on Your Network

The Coalesce supports sharing for iOS devices with AirPlay

the device's native AirPlay feature. You can allow iOS users to mirror their devices to the Coalesce display with some network

configuration.

There are two network setup options that will enable mirroring with AirPlay® on the network. For networks that allow UDP

multicast traffic and Apple's Bonjour protocol, mirroring should be accomplished using Setup 1 below. For networks that do not

allow UDP multicast traffic and/or Apple's Bonjour protocol, follow the steps for Setup 2 below.

Setup 1: Enable iOS mirroring with Bonjour

The Bonjour protocol is required. Bonjour is a multi-cast protocol developed by Apple for device discovery.* Bonjour is packaged

with the Coalesce, so no separate Bonjour install is required.

Create network firewall/antivirus exceptions for Bonjour traffic as needed. Network firewall and antivirus system exceptions must

be created to allow Bonjour traffic through to the Coalesce.**

* Bonjour, as a multicast technology, uses broadcast packets across the network. Bonjour packets typically will not cross subnets

or VLANs.

** The multicast port Bonjour uses is UDP 5353. There are several wireless technologies designed to minimize network impact of

traffic from multicast technologies like Bonjour, including Aruba Airgroup, Cisco Bonjour Gateway...etc. Refer to the

specific manufacturers for more information.

Setup 2: Enable iOS mirroring when Bonjour and/or multicast traffic is not allowed

Enable AirPlay

Proxy Discovery. The "Enable AirPlay Proxy Discovery" feature should be enabled in the Coalesce Configuration

Panel or Coalesce Central.

Create network firewall/antivirus exceptions and open network ports to allow AirPlay traffic. To enable iOS mirroring, AirPlay

traffic must be allowed on the network —by opening the network ports required for AirPlay protocols—as well as through any

network firewalls and/or antivirus systems—by creating exceptions.***

***Inbound AirPlay traffic to the Coalesce should be allowed on TCP 7000, 7100, 47000, 1678, 1682, 1686, and 1690, as well as

UDP 1679-1693 (unicast). AirPlay traffic inbound to the Coalesce client devices on TCP 7001 should also be allowed. Not all

deployments and configurations will require all of these ports/routes to be open. If you need assistance or have questions about

setting up iOS mirroring, contact Black Box Technical Support at 877-877-2269 or info@blackbox.com.
