Security

Does anyone have experienced a deployment Crestron AirMedia for wireless display in conference rooms? In our scenario, AirMedia devices are connected to the corporate wired network in multiple sites. Employees can easily access the corporate network in conference room either wired or wireless with corporate laptop. On the guest wireless network though we would like to allow access to the AirMedia devices for presentations we have supplier comming in. We thought about using Airgroup functionality in ArubaOS and ClearPass (like we plan to do with AirPrint feature) and create a new service for the AirMedia but AirGroup only supports mdns and dlna. AirMedia uses LLMNR (Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution). Is there other way to do it or a plan to add LLMNR to AirGroup? Do we need to do a feature request?

We've done a global deployment of these and the customer used the address on the screen to connect. That's the great thing about these is you don't have to use L2 discovery.


Thanks,

Same experience as Tim. We use the on screen IP.

On-screen IP is the way to go. We also added dns entries so the users only have to type the conference room name. The guest user role is restricted to Crestron service ports and networks

I know that this is an old post but I was wondering if anyone has had any challenges with Airmedia from a wireless guest network security persepctive? Our guest network is open with no L2 encryption and our concern is that any media content is streamed unencrypted and can captured.

 

Does anyone use Airmedia from an open guest network?

I've deployed it with a customer without issue. The client to player traffic
is encrypted.

We have it deployed at most of our offices. In the user role profile for guests, we give internal access to only the air media network and deny other internal access. The media stream is encrypted.

Thanks both, very helpful

We are testing this deployment on 3 of our SSIDs.  The two encrypted SSIDs work fine, the open guest SSID does not.  We get to the device, download the App but we don't get the popup window (can't find server error msg)  to enter the code on the screen.  Just starting to troubleshoot the issue.

Have you found the solution for connecting airmedia guest ssid issue?!. Getting same error. Downloading successful. But can't find the receiver server is showing.

I made sure the AirMedia ports were open on the controller firewall. Once that was done I also had the AV team reboot their devices and things worked.

Take Care

Hi. Controller Firewall means ?!!. Telling to check on firewall or ClearPass ?!!. We've given All (Allowed all ports)for services in the firewall. Suspecting some port is blocking in ClearPass?!!. Can you hep  

Hi, we have deployed two sets of Am-200 for POC. its not discovering automatically the name of Am devices for connectivity.

Everytime , we need to enter the IP/Hostname of AM for connecting..

this is the case for LAN/ Wi-fi both.

Need expert advice to fix this issue.

 

The Crestron Airmedia 200 supports Airplay and shows up in the airgroups. Will we be able to MDNS users from our guestvlan to the device if connected to our corporate switch in the confrence rooms.  Our guest vlan is different then our corporate vlan users both are tunnled back to the controller.
