Air play and Miracast on Webex devices

Webex devices support Airplay and Miracast.

Airplay

To share screen Wirelessly connect your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to webex devices

Network requirements

To allow for wireless sharing with AirPlay, either:

The Apple device and the Webex device need to be on the same broadcast domain (VLAN or subnet). This is typically the case in a user’s home network set up. or

The administrator needs to enable discovery beacon support on the Webex device. This is typically the case in an enterprise network set up. If beacon support is not enabled, AirPlay will still be available but will require Bonjour services for network support. IP routing will be required between subnets to allow for sharing. See the table below.

Port	TCP or UDP	Service or protocol name	Service name	Used by
80	TCP	Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)	http	AirPlay
443	TCP	Secure Sockets Layer (SSL or HTTPS)	https	AirPlay
319, 320	UDP	Precision Time Protocol (PTP)	ptp	AirPlay
554	TCP/UDP	Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)	rtsp	AirPlay
3689	TCP	Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP)	daap	AirPlay
5353	UDP	Multicast DNS (MDNS)	mdns	AirPlay
7000	TCP	AirPlay HTTP server	http	AirPlay
32768-60999	TCP/UDP	Ephemeral port range required between subnets for share	http	AirPlay

Configuration

To configure AirPlay on a Webex device, access the device’s web interface or Control Hub

Go to devices
Select Local device Control

You will see a Popup Window. Choose Proceed.

Go to Device settings

Choose Video

Turn the Mode ON and Turn ON discovery beacon support

Define security settings. Left unset, no password or PIN will be required for any AirPlay pairing.

Password. The device will require a password for AirPlay pairing. The user has to set a password in the device’s web interface. If the user doesn’t set a password, the device will revert to default and request a PIN.
PinAlways (default for shared mode devices). The device will request a PIN at every AirPlay pairing.
PinFirstTime (default for personal mode devices). The device will request a PIN at the first AirPlay pairing. After the first time, the successfully paired device will be remembered.

Miracast

By enabling Miracast participants can share content wirelessly from their laptop or android devices to Webex Board or Room Series device

Miracast uses Wi-Fi Direct to establish a direct network connection from a meeting participant’s laptop to the Webex device.

This feature is supported on Webex Boards and Room Series devices on a cabled network connection. If the Webex device has an external Wi-Fi antenna, such as Room Kit Pro, this should be mounted. Users can share from Windows and Android devices. Before enabling Miracast, you should check firewall settings and verify that TCP port 7236 is open on Windows devices in your organization.

Configuration

To configure Miracast on a Webex device, access the device’s web interface or Control Hub
