WiFi Connected Mode
Figure 8: WiFi connected mode topology
The WiFi mode allows the device to become part of the WiFi local area network infrastructure
and act as a virtual wireless access point. Similar to user devices that need to connect to the
secured WiFi network, the Arrive AirPoint needs the existence of a WiFi LAN network SSID
and WPA security key to be configured on each device - one-time. It always connects to this
SSID.
a. In the WiFi-C mode, the device does not broadcast its own SSID, instead it uses the
connected WiFi LAN SSID.
b. BYOD devices connect to the WiFi LAN and are able to discover the device as an
AirPlay or Miracast media receiver. By selecting the specific device ID, the user is
able to select the screen to which they wish to mirror their BYOD devices.
c. All policies, encryptions, and other security measures implemented carry over to
Arrive AirPoint because it creates standard Ethernet traffic. Once on the enterprise
or campus network, the traffic generated by Arrive AirPoint is treated like any
other network traffic. All existing policies that apply to physical network devices
(switches, routers, etc.) also apply to Arrive AirPoint. Arrive AirPoint can be treated
as a standard network appliance (like a printer) and is as secure as the supporting
network.
d. This type of connection induces latency on the connection based on the WiFi
performance.
