8.5 Remote Control/Remote Touch Control (UMT)
WiCS-2100 supports remote control, including remote touch control (UMT). Users can
remotely control the projecting computer from the display via a mouse, keyboard or touch
screen.
Note:
The UMT (universal multi-touch) function can only support USB HID touch devices
compatible with Windows 7/8/10. Therefore, when the operating system of the sender
device is macOS, touch events on the projector/display screen are translated into
mouse events on the screen of the sender device. [Please be aware that Windows 7
can only provide limited multi-touch capability for specific applications.]
Each USB port on the WiCS-2100 device can supply up to 5V/0.5A power. Additional
power supply is required if the attached HID device needs more power.

4) In the “Deep standby” mode, the WiFi/network functions and the display are all off. The
Base Unit will wake up only when the standby button on the Base Unit is pressed.
**Click “Save changes” to apply your new settings.
9.2.2 Wi-Fi & Network
WiCS-2100 can act as a dual band wireless access point, at 2.4GHz or 5GHz, enabling the
broadcast of an additional wireless SSID signal on either bandwidth.

“Auto” option means that after the WiCS-2100 device is powered on, the system will
scan all the wireless channels and select a clear channel automatically.
Encryption - The default value is “None”. [You can also choose any of the following:
WPA-PSK, WPA/WPA2-PSK.]
Encryption Key - If the “Encryption” function is enabled, you have to set the “Key” value

< Enable wired 802.1X EAP authentication >
Note:
If you are unable to connect to the WiCS-2100 after you enable this option, there
should be some error in your settings. To be able to connect to the WiCS-2100
again, you need to reset the WiCS-2100 to factory defaults (a hardware reset is
required).
The wired 802.1X EAP authentication is a port-based access control to enhance
security in a wired network environment.
Two EAP authentication methods are supported by the WiCS-2100 - PEAP and TLS:
♦ If you select the PEAP method, you have to enter an identity and a password.
♦ If you select the TLS method, you have to upload two certificates (user certificate
and CA certificate) and a private key. You also need to enter a password (a
passphrase) for the private key if required.

WiCS-2100 User’s Manual
Note:
To activate 802.1X EAP-TLS authentication, you need to ensure that “start
dates” of the user certificate and CA certificate are prior to May 1, 2019. Our
advice is that you use the “-startdate” parameter to create the user certificate
and CA certificate with start dates before May 1, 2019.

control of the class while encouraging student interaction and collaboration to the greatest
extent possible.
Plaese note that AirPlay and Chromecast (Google Cast) protocols do not support the

15 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the WiCS-2100 (set as an access point) not appear among the list of available
WiFi networks on my computer/mobile device?
A: This may be because your computer/mobile device only supports 2.4GHz WiFi, not 5GHz
WiFi. As the WiCS-2100 uses the 5GHz band by default, it does not appear among the list
of available WiFi networks on your computer/mobile device. To fix this issue, you should
go to the Admin page (wePresent Configurator) of the WiCS-2100 and change the “Band”
setting from “5GHz” to “2.4GHz”.
Q: Why can’t I access the WiCS-2100 web UI (user interface) through a web browser?
A: This may be because your sender device (PC/Mac/mobile device) and the receiver device
(WiCS-2100) are not on the same intranet. In order to troubleshoot this, you can try any
of the following:
• Set the WiCS-2100 as an access point (AP), and connect your sender device to the
WiCS-2100’s WiFi.
• Connect your sender device to the WiCS-2100 via a router.
• Use an Ethernet cable to connect your sender device to the WiCS-2100.
Q: Why can’t the MirrorOp app find the WiCS-2100 device?
A: This may be because your sender device ((PC/Mac/mobile device) and the receiver device
(WiCS-2100) are not on the same subnet. In order to fix this issue, you can try any of the
following:
• Set the WiCS-2100 as an access point (AP), and connect your sender device to the

an IP address automatically (via DHCP from the router).
Page 57

WiCS-2100 User’s Manual
Note:
WiCS-2100 supports device discovery across subnets via SSDP, but you need to
configure your network environment to enable SSDP by ensuring all of the
following:
(a) UDP port 1900 is allowed in your firewall;
(b) The multicast IP address 239.255.255.250 is whitelisted in your firewall;
(c) IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) and PIM (Protocol Independent
Multicast) are enabled in your network environment.
For assistance, please contact your IT administrator or network equipment supplier.
To check if your sender device and the WiCS-2100 are on the same subnet, you can
compare the IP address of the sender device with that of the WiCS-2100 (shown on the
standby screen of the projector/display). They should be identical in the first three
sections, and only differ in the last section. For example, the IP address of the sender
device is 192.168.100.11 while that of the WiCS-2100 is 192.168.100.10.
If your sender device is a PC/Mac, you can also use the ping command to check the
connection between your PC/Mac and the WiCS-2100.
Q: What can I do if my network does not allow the sender and receiver devices to be on the
same subnet?
A: This sometimes happens in the network configurations of schools or offices where you
just cannot change the settings of the networks you can connect to. If the receiver
device (WiCS-2100) is not on the same subnet as the sender device (PC/Mac/mobile
device), you can manually enter the IP address of the receiver device in the “Input
hostname or IP” field (on the user interface of MirrorOp) in a bid to locate the WiCS-2100.

Q: Why does the WiCS-2100 lag from time to time?
A: This may be caused by WiFi interference. Our advice is as follows:
• If there are multiple wireless APs deployed in your company/school network, it is
recommended that your sender device (PC/Mac/mobile device) and the WiCS-2100
should connect to whichever AP has the strongest signal.
• If your sender device connects to the WiCS-2100’s WiFi (the WiCS-2100 acts as an
AP), make sure that your sender device is not too far away from the WiCS-2100 and
avoid the physical interference (such as wall and other solid objects) in the wireless
coverage.
• If multiple APs on your company/school network use the 2.4GHz band (note: the
Q: Why does the WiCS-2100 still lag when my sender device and the WiCS-2100 are
connected via LAN?
A: This may be caused by insufficient bandwidth. A common scenario is that when you
project a high-resolution photo/video from your computer to the display, a “yellow
turtle” icon appears on your computer screen, which denotes lagging in performance.
WiCS-2100 uses the 5GHz band by default), try your best to have them use
different WiFi channels. Channel 1, 6, and 11 are recommended as they are the only
non-overlapping channels in the 2.4GHz band.
Page 59
59
WiCS-2100 User’s Manual
You may try lowering your computer’s resolution before starting the projection in order
to fix this problem.
Q: Why does the display show “No DHCP Server”?
A: This happens when both of the following conditions are met: (a) The “Bridge” mode is
enabled in “Network Settings”; (b) There is no DHCP server available on the network.
Please note that the wePresent DHCP server will be disabled in the “Bridge” mode” and
that the WiFi station mode cannot be activated in the “Bridge” mode. Therefore, if you
want to enable the “Bridge” mode, you need to do both of the following: (a) Connect
your WiCS-2100 device to your company/school network via an Ethernet cable; (b) Make
sure that a DHCP server is available on the network to which your WiCS-2100 device is
connected.
