Frequently Asked Questions - HuddleShare HuddleCamHD

Which devices are compatible with the HuddleShare?

The HuddleShare works with Windows (XP to 10, 32/64-bit), macOS, iOS 7.0+, and Android 2.3+ (mirroring requires Android 5.0+). It also supports Apple AirPlay and Google Cast via the WirelessMedia app.

How do I set up the HuddleShare for the first time?

Connect the provided antennas to the rear panel. Connect the HDMI output to your display, and plug in the power adapter. Press the front power button. On the home screen, note the SSID and password (default: HuddleShare and a randomly changing pass). Connect your device to that WiFi network and launch the WirelessMedia app or use the included ShareKey dongle.

Why can't I see the HuddleShare's WiFi network?

The portable hotspot might be turned off. Connect a USB mouse to the HuddleShare, click the Settings icon on the home screen, go to Wireless Network, and enable Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot. If still missing, check that the SSID is not hidden via the Information button on the home screen.

How many people can present or connect at the same time?

Up to 14 devices can be connected simultaneously to the HuddleShare. However, only one active presentation is displayed on the main screen at a time. Use the Moderator Control feature to manage connected devices.

Can I connect the HuddleShare to a corporate LAN?

Yes, connect an Ethernet cable from the HuddleShare's LAN port to your network. The device will obtain an IP via DHCP (or you can set a static IP). Then devices on the same LAN can discover the HuddleShare via its LAN IP shown on the home screen. Ensure LAN Discovery & Connection is enabled in Security Settings.

How do I mirror my iPhone or iPad without the WirelessMedia app?

Ensure your iOS device is connected to the HuddleShare's WiFi. Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, and select the HuddleShare from the list. The display will show your iOS screen. Go to Settings > General Settings to adjust the mirror quality (High, Medium, Low).

What should I do if the video quality is poor or laggy?

First, check the RSSI (signal strength) on your device – it should be above -70 dBm. Move the HuddleShare away from interference sources (metal, concrete, other WiFi) and orient antennas vertically. In the HuddleShare settings, try a less congested WiFi channel using the built-in WiFi Analyzer, or switch to 5 GHz if possible. Also reduce the screen mirror quality in General Settings.

How do I update the firmware of the HuddleShare?

Download the firmware update file update.bin from the HuddleCamHD support site. Copy it to the root of a FAT32 formatted USB drive. Insert the drive into a USB port on the HuddleShare. Go to Settings > System Update and choose Full Update. Confirm the reboot and wait for the process to finish (do not power off). After reboot, perform a Factory Reset via the rear panel reset button.

Can I use the HuddleShare with a wired HDMI source?

Yes, the HuddleShare has an HDMI input (up to 4K@60Hz). Connect a source (e.g., laptop, camera) to the rear HDMI Input port. On the home screen, click the HDMI Input button (requires a connected mouse or touchscreen) to switch to the wired source. You can set HDMI Input Auto Switch in General Settings.

How do I reset the HuddleShare to factory defaults?

You can reset using one of two methods: (1) With the device powered on, press the Reset button on the rear panel for 2+ seconds – a menu will appear; click Factory Reset. (2) Go to Settings > System Update and click Factory Reset. The device will reboot with default settings (SSID: HuddleShare, no LAN discovery, etc.).

4.1 Installation Methods for the HuddleShare

The HuddleShare can be installed in different ways in a meeting room. The articulated antennas are removable. They can rotate for better wireless connection.

• Table Mount
• Wall Mount

Attention: For optimal performance, install the Base unit close to the display and avoid obstacles between the Base unit and the Buttons.

Necessary Tools

• A drill (type of drill depends on the type of wall)
• Flat screwdriver
• Additional screwdriver that matches the mounting screws (mounting screws not included in the package)

Necessary Parts

• 2) Mounting screws (M3 0.55 pitch)
- 2) plugs
• 2) Mounting Brackets

How to Table/Wall Mount

1. Drill two holes in the table/wall as indicated. Horizontal Distance: 177mm (6.9in) ± 0.15
2. On the bottom of the HuddleShare, place the bracket on the 4 holes and turn in 4 delivered flat screws. Fasten accordingly.
3. Insert a plug in each hole (if needed, depends on the wall type), and drive in 2 screws. Please leave at least a dimension 0.15mm space to place the bracket between the screw header and wall. Ensure the screw used is not bigger than the hole on the mounting adapter
   a. Note: Mounting screws and plugs are not included with the HuddleShare. The type of screws required depends on the type of wall (stone, wood, plasterboard, etc.) you are mounting the HuddleShare to.
4. Place the HuddleShare on the wall, so that the holes on the bracket matches the 2 unfixed screws on the wall. Hook the bracket on the screw and slide the Base Unit downwards until it's fixed in the 2 screw on the wall.
5. Affix the bracket with the 2 unused screws.

Antenna Placement

- The antennas should be oriented vertically, perpendicular to the ceiling and parallel to the walls. - The antennas should be installed far enough away from metallic surfaces, radio equipment, concrete walls, WiFi access point, cordless telephone, or any other surfaces/equipment that block radio waves.

o Metallic Surfaces: At least 1.6ft/50cm

○ Radio Equipment: 3.3ft/1m

○ Concrete Walls: 6in/15cm

- For best results, have a direct line of sight between the antennas and connected device. Any obstruction can cause performance degradation.

- Due to the radio pattern of the dipole antennas, it's recommended to mount the HuddleShare away from any position that may be utilized for content sharing. It's advised to mount the HuddleShare towards the side of the room

6.2.4 WiFi Analyzer

WiFi Analyzer is an embedded application tool that provides advice for the deployment and WiFi configuration. The IEEE802.11 a/g/n/ac standard makes use of a part of the 2.4GHz ISM band of the 5GHz U-NII bands.

The 2.4GHz ISM band (industrial, scientific and medical) goes from 2.400 GHz to 2.500GHz and can be used freely by any radio device for industrial, scientific and medical application. This band is also used by several common telecommunications protocols or standards for the likes of WiDi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFIS devices, etc. A more comprehensive list of systems authorized on this band can be found at:

http://www.efis.dk/sitecontent.jsp?sitecontent=ecatable for the European Union and at: http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/spectrum/table/fcctable.pdf for the United States.

The 802.11 standard divides the 2.4GHz ISM band into (13) thirteen 22MHz wide channels, spaces 5MHz from

each other (cf. as table 1 below). These channels thus strongly overlap with each other. The availability of these channels varies from country to country.

Table 1 below depicts the channels enabled for the different regional versions

Table 2: Wifi channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency band

The 5GHz U-NII band covers discontinued parts of the RF spectrum between 5.15GHz and 5.825GHz and allows the use of unlicensed wireless systems. The U-NII band is divided into 4 different sub-bands subjected to specific restriction (cf. Table 3).

Band	Frequency Range (MHz)	Number of WiFi Channels	Restriction
U-NII 1	5150 - 5250	4	Until recently, limited to indoor use only
U-NII 2	5250 - 5350	4	Requires use of radar detection
U-NII 2 Extended	5470 - 5725	11	Requires use of radar detection
U-NII 3	5725 - 5825	4

Table 3: U-NII organization

Contrary to the channels defined on the 2.4 GHz band, the channels defined on the 5 GHz band do not overlap with each other.

As stated in Table 3, the U-NII 2 and U-NII2 extended sub-bands are also used by several radar systems and can only be used by Wi-Fi access points using the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) algorithms. These 2 algorithms have been defined by the IEEE802.11h standard and specify a set of procedures to detect and avoid interference with radar systems operating in the U-NII 2 and U-NII 2 extended sub-bands.

The WirelessMedia access points currently do no support DFS and TPC as specified in the IEEE 802.11h standard. Table 4 goes over the list of supported 5GHz channels in different regions.

The 5GHz band is used much less on WiFi devices than the 2.4GHz alternative. In addition, many of the older WiFi devices only support the 2.4GHz channel, which makes 5GHz less popular. Moreover, 5GHz channels do not overlap with each other. As a result, the use of 5GHz channels is most often the best choice when installing for the lowest chance of WiFi interference.

Table 4: Regional Variants

Wi-Fi Channel Selection

Wireless communication signals travel through the air. When two devices are transmitting on the same frequency, the communication will become distorted. When that distortion becomes too severe, the transmitted packets may no longer be understood by the receiver. As a result, these packets will be re-transmitted. This causes a decrease in the data rate achieved which inevitably causes more latency between the transmitting and receiving devices.

To limit the interference between WiFi devices, the 802.11 standard makes use of the CSMA/CA and Clear-Channel Assessment (CCA) algorithms. Before sending a packet, the device checks whether or not another transmission is currently going on. When free, the device will use the channel to send packets. Otherwise, the device will back off and retry after a short period of time. Even while making use of the CSMA/CA and CCA algorithms, too many WiFi devices on the same channel will negatively impact the maximum achievable data rate. In addition, these algorithms are inefficient against interferences coming from non WiFi devices or from WiFi devices operating on overlapping channels. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to select a WiFi channel with little to no congestion.

Site Survey

Ideally, the selection of the WiFi Channel should be made after conducting a wireless site survey. This site survey maps out the different sources of interference and the active RF systems.

Based on the site survey results, the least occupied channel can be found and selected for each meeting room.

WiFi Analyzer includes two modes:

• Simple Mode: Find and scan a WiFi channel to analyze its channel and find the recommended channel.
• Expert Mode: Gives real time map of current WiFi hotspot devices, channel, and RSSI for easy selection of a non-congested WiFi channel.

Generic Configuration Rules

When no site survey is made, the following rules of thumb should allow for a successful configuration:

- The HuddleShare access point in a meeting room should not re-use a WiFi Channel that overlaps with one of the channels used in the corporate WLAN infrastructure. Ideally, at least two channels in the corporate WLAN should be reserved for the HuddleShare. If numerous HuddleShare systems are located close to one another, more channels may be required.

When installing HuddleShare base units, we recommend checking with your IT department to find which channels are not used by the corporate WLAN infrastructure in the desired location.

- In an ideal setup, overlapping channels should not be used for two HuddleShare units within range of each other. As the 2.4GHz bands overlap with each other, best practice is to use channels 1, 6, & 11 on a single floor. On floors above and below, the channel pattern will be shifted to avoid overlap between floors (e.g. by placing channel 6 at the center of the illustrated pattern below).

- If there are not enough channels available, two or more HuddleShares can be placed on the same channel. This will impact the quality of the connection when several clients are sharing simultaneously.

When three HuddleShares are placed on top of one another, this can result in performance issues as illustrated in Table 5 & 6. Table 5 shows a scenario in which all clients are streaming video content, and Table 6 shows a standard office situation where clients share typical office documents or presentations.

- As stated above, the 5GHz channels do not overlap with each other, and are used less by devices without WiFi compared to the 2.4GHz channels. In addition, 5GHz signals are more rapidly degraded than 2.4GHz signals. Therefore, the use of a 5GHz channel is recommended. This will limit the impact of wireless devices on your WLAN.

Clients Sharing Video	1	2	3

3	Ok	Moderate risk of reduced quality	Strong risk of reduced quality

Important Remarks about the HuddleShare Installation

Please be sure the HuddleShare is installed correctly to ensure the performance and communication between the HuddleShare & device(s) aren't affected. When installing, please follow the rules below:

• Keep direct line of sight between HuddleShare and devices. Any obstruction will cause the signal to follow a longer path, which degrades performance.
• Due to the radio pattern of the dipole antennas, the antennas should not be placed above the HuddleShare users. When ceiling mounting, it's advised to position the antennas to the side, parallel to the ceiling.
• Do not use the HuddleShare without the shipped antennas. Removing the antenna will cause severe degradation of the signal quality and may result in connection issues between the HuddleShare and clients.
• Install the HuddleShare in an open environment and avoid installing in a metallic shell. A metallic shell (or shelf) can act as a Faraday cage and block the RF signal.
  ○ If installing in a metallic shell or shelf is unavoidable, different external antennas may be required.
• Once the HuddleShare is installed, it is best to control the signal strength at the potential device location. For best performance, signal strength of -70dBm is needed.

Wi-Fi Troubleshooting

Check the RSSi from the connected devices.

When utilizing a channel free of any interference, a signal that is too weak coming from the WirelessMedia client (mobile device or software) can result in an unstable link. In such situations, we recommend:

- Measuring the RSSI from the HuddleShare at different device locations. This can be accomplished by means of a free WiFi survey tool such as the “WiFi Analyzer” Android application, or another base unit’s embedded WiFi Analyzer. As previously stated, the RSSI should be at least -70dBm.

- Check the signal state reported on the HuddleShares web interface on the tab "Maintenance" > "Buttons"

If the measured RSSI is too low, check the section marked [Important Remarks about the HuddleShare Installation].

Attention: After using the WiFi Analyzer, the Portable WiFi Hotspot will turn off automatically. Be sure to enable WiFi Hotspot afterwards for best performance.
