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 theVisit Online
Storebutton 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.

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 listbutton 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 theFind in listbutton ,
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 toFavorites” 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 theUsing Favoritessection.

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

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 audiois
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
