1.3 Receiver Deployment
A MultiBeam cluster consists of one Primary receiver and multiple Remote receivers. The
ScreenBeam receivers should be planned and deployed in advance.
 Primary receiver: It multicasts video streaming to the MultiBeam cluster when the
Primary is connected to a wireless display source device.
 Remote receiver: It receives video streaming from the MultiBeam cluster.
There are two connection methods for connecting MultiBeam receivers to a MultiBeam
cluster.
 Wired connection (Wired Ethernet): The remote receiver should connect to a network
(such as the corporate network) via Ethernet; and the Primary receiver should connect
to the same network as the remote via Ethernet or wireless.
Note: The Primary receiver and Remote receivers must be deployed in the same subnet
if Wired Ethernet is used. And the Primary should connect to one network only.
 Wireless connection (Wifi Direct): A hidden AP is created after the MultiBeam feature is
enabled. Remote receivers will connect to this hidden AP automatically if the Remote
receiver’s MultiBeam interface is set to Wifi Direct.
In a MultiBeam cluster, both wired and wireless connections are allowed. For example, one
Remote receiver is set to use Wired Ethernet, and another is set to use Wifi Direct.
