Activation

This MirrorOp Sender application can be used with many different receivers,

such as wePresent/ClickShare products and Windows/Mac/Android/iOS devices.

Depending on which receiver the MirrorOp Sender application is connected to,

different features will be enabled based on the capabilities of the receiver. In

most cases if you use this application with a hardware device that already

includes a valid license (registration key) for this software, activation is not

required. However, if you use this application with a receiver that does not

include a valid license, for example a Windows device, you should activate the

application with a valid registration key.

To open the Activation window, go to the Help menu (Mac)/Settings menu

(Windows) and click “Activate”.

(For Mac)

(For Windows)

MIRROROP SENDER USER’S MANUAL 8

When this application is used without a valid license (that is, no valid license for

the receiver and not activated with a key), it will show a warning message and

disconnect from the receiver every 5 minutes.

A registration key can be purchased in the application. Click the “Visit Online

Store” button on the Activation window to find purchase options.

Once you have a registration key, enter the key in the Activation window

(including all the dashes "-") and click the Activate button. Make sure you’re

connected to the internet when activating MirrorOp Sender.

MIRROROP SENDER USER’S MANUAL 9

Note: One registration key is valid for one computer only unless otherwise

specified when you purchase. Using the same key on a second

computer will make activation on the first computer invalid.

4.

Using MirrorOp Sender

To use MirrorOp Sender, first you should connect your computer to the same

network where the receiver is connected. Then, find the MirrorOp Sender

application and launch it.

MIRROROP SENDER USER’S MANUAL 11

5.

Finding and Connecting to Receiver

Once launched, MirrorOp Sender will automatically look for receivers on the

network and generate a list. The automatic (receiver) device discovery

mechanism can be categorized into two types depending on the receiver(s) that

MirrorOp Sender works with:

(a)

Same-subnet discovery –

Only those receivers which

reside on the same subnet as the sender

can be

automatically discovered. For those receivers not on the same subnet, which

is more likely to happen in big corporate and school networks with different

subnets, you can connect to any of them by entering any of their IP addresses

or hostnames in the textbox at the bottom of the interface.

Note:

Generally speaking, if the first three sections of the IP addresses of the

receivers and the sender are the same, they are within the same subnet.

(b)

Cross-subnet discovery (SSDP is supported by receivers) –

Receivers, which

reside on subnets adjacent to the sender

, can be

automatically discovered,

if your network settings allow SSDP.

(For

assistance, please contact your IT administrator or network equipment

supplier.)

Note:

If you use

the portable version of MirrorOp Sender for Windows

, a Windows

Security Alert message will pop up with a list of options during the execution of

the application.

To enable SSDP, check all the options and click “Allow

access”

.

MIRROROP SENDER USER’S MANUAL 12

Move your mouse to the receiver you want to use and click "Connect" to

connect to the receiver. If the receiver you want to use is not shown on the list,

you can: (a) click the “Refresh list” button to search again or; (b) directly

connect to the receiver by entering its IP address or hostname in the textbox at

the bottom of the interface.

If the device list displayed is too long, you can click the “Find in list” button ,

and type your search query in the search textbox to find the receiver you want to

use.

You can also choose to save receiver(s) you use frequently to “Favorites” by

clicking the Star icon . (The Star icon will become blue-colored ). Even if

you connect to the receiver by entering its IP address or hostname, you can save

the receiver to Favorites while connected. The receiver(s) stored in Favorites will

always be placed on the top of the receiver device list. For more detailed

information, please refer to the “Using Favorites” section.

Info Panel

The receiver name and current status will be displayed on the Info Panel. There

are three buttons on the upper-right corner of the Info Panel:

- Close the application

- Minimize the application

- Collapse the Info Panel into the Mini Panel

The Info Panel will automatically collapse into a Mini Panel if the application is

connected to a receiver and no mouse movement is detected for a few seconds.

You can also manually expand and collapse the device list by clicking and

Mini Panel

To save space on screen when sharing your desktop, MirrorOp Sender

automatically minimizes to the Mini Panel mode after it is connected to a

receiver and no mouse movement is detected for a few seconds.

The Mini Panel contains most frequently used controls you need when sharing

your screen. You can manually expand the receiver list to switch to another

receiver or disconnect from a receiver. To do so, click the button on the

mini panel.

You can also manually expand Mini Panel into the Info Panel by clicking the

button.

8.

Using Favorites

Similar to the concept in most web browsers, the Favorites feature is a quick way

to store destinations you visit often so that you can access them quickly. In this

case, the receivers you use frequently are to be stored.

If you have many receivers around in your office, going over the complete

receiver list every time may be time consuming and unnecessary. You can save

the receivers you use most frequently as Favorites, and the receiver(s) stored in

Favorites will always be placed on the top of the receiver device list. Therefore,

you do not have to go through the discovery process every time.

To save a receiver to your Favorites, move your mouse to the receiver you want

to add. Look for the Star icon on the right of the list, and click to add the

receiver.

To remove a receiver from Favorites, move your mouse to the Star icon of

that receiver and click on it.

Receivers in Favorites are always visible on the list. If a receiver can be

discovered, its name is shown in black. If a receiver on the list cannot be

discovered, its name is grayed out.

MIRROROP SENDER USER’S MANUAL 17

A receiver may not be discovered but still connectable. For example, a receiver is

on another subnet of the corporate network which your computer have access

to. Or, some corporate network may block all UDP broadcasting packets, which

thus prevents the discovery mechanism to find receivers. In such cases you can

still connect to these receivers from the Favorites list. Simply move your mouse

to the receiver you want to use, and click "Connect". MirrorOp Sender will try to

connect to that receiver with the last known IP address. If it is not found at that

IP address, MirrorOp Sender will try to get the IP address from the DNS server

with the receiver hostname. If the receiver hostname is found at another IP

MIRROROP SENDER USER’S MANUAL 18

address, MirrorOp Sender will connect with the new IP address and update the

address to the list. If all these efforts fail, this may be because the receiver is

turned off or the network your computer is connected to cannot access that

receiver.

Starting Mirroring/Sharing

To start mirroring/sharing to the receiver you selected, click the Play button .

The screen image will be presented on the receiver side.

Note:

•

If you use the Chromebook version of MirrorOp Sender

to share content

from a Chromebook to a receiver, you need to decide whether you want to

mirror your entire Chromebook screen

or only share an application

window

to the receiver after clicking the Play button.

• If you choose to share your entire Chromebook screen, remember to decide

whether you want to share audio or not. The option of “share audio” is

checked by default. If you uncheck this option, there will be no audio output

from your Chromebook to the receiver. Nevertheless, if you check the
