User Manual
FAQ
What is the primary function of the Crestron AM-3100-WF?
The Crestron AM-3100-WF is a wireless presentation gateway. Its primary function is to enable users to securely share or mirror the screen from their personal devices—like laptops, smartphones, and tablets—wirelessly to a room's main display or projector. It transforms a standard display into a collaborative hub for meetings and presentations.
What Wi-Fi standards does this gateway support?
The gateway supports the latest IEEE 802.11ax standard, commonly known as Wi-Fi 6, and is backward compatible with earlier standards including 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. This ensures connectivity with a wide range of modern and legacy devices. It operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands (dual-band).
Does the AM-3100-WF support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it features a PoE PD (Powered Device) port. This means the device can receive both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector. This greatly simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the unit, allowing for cleaner, more flexible mounting options.
How does the AirMedia Canvas feature enhance meetings?
AirMedia Canvas allows two different source devices to share content simultaneously on the main display. Instead of switching between presenters, both screens can be viewed side-by-side. This is ideal for collaborative sessions like comparing documents, brainstorming on different whiteboards, or presenting data from two laptops concurrently, making meetings more interactive and efficient.
Can this device be used for digital signage?
Yes, through integration with the Appspace® digital signage software platform. When not being used for live presentations, the AM-3100-WF can drive the display to show scheduled digital signage content such as company announcements, wayfinding, or event schedules. This dual-purpose functionality maximizes the utility and ROI of the room's display hardware.
What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?
The device has a compact, square design measuring 5 inches in width, 5 inches in depth, and 1.21 inches in height (127 x 127 x 30.73 mm). It is designed for surface mounting, allowing it to be discreetly installed behind a display or on a wall, or it can be placed on a desktop. Its low profile and PoE support facilitate neat, professional installations in conference rooms and similar spaces.
Does the product support PoE or wireless networking?
Connectivity support is listed in the product specifications, including the relevant wireless or port options when available.
