Configuring the WFA 100 Channel
The ShareLink Pro supports Miracast Wi‑Fi Direct on both the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band. You may
configure the channel and other Miracast settings in PCS as shown below.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you configure the Miracast Wi‑Fi Direct channel such that it
does not conflict with the enterprise wireless access point channels (for Miracast Over Infrastructure
Wi‑Fi network). Operating wireless devices on the same or overlapping channels may result in a
poor end user experience.
1. Open PCS v4.10.5 or greater.
2. Connect to the ShareLink Pro device.
3. Navigate to General Settings > WFA 100 tab:
4. Configure the following settings within the Miracast Screen Mirroring panel:
•
Enable Wi-Fi Direct – Check to box to always share Miracast content via Wi‑Fi Direct (see
Miracast Connection Using the WFA 100
•
Channel Selection – Select the desired channel from this drop‑down menu. Miracast will operate
in the specified channel. Alternatively, the following auto selection options are available:
• Auto - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels – On this option, the ShareLink Pro auto selects the
channel. It searches for unused channels in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands (prioritizing 5 GHz
channels, then 2.4 GHz)
•
Auto - 2.4 GHz channels only – The ShareLink Pro searches for unused channels in the
2.4 GHz band only.
• Auto - 5 GHz channels only – The ShareLink Pro searches for unused channels in the 5
GHz band only.
NOTE: Auto channel selection is initiated at power up, and once every 24 hours when the
ShareLink Pro and Miracast is not in use.
• Over Infrastructure – Check this box to share Miracast content via the Over Infrastructure
method (as priority), with Wi‑Fi Direct as the failover method (see
the WFA 100
on page 52 for details).
