AirPlay Device Management

Registering AirPlay destinations (such as Apple TVs or conference room displays) in the Mobile Guardian Dashboard allows administrators to push pre-configured display targets directly to managed iOS endpoints.

By pre-configuring AirPlay payloads, employees can seamlessly connect to presentation screens without needing to manually discover devices or memorise network passwords.

Log in to the Mobile Guardian Dashboard, navigate to Settings, and select Air Play/Print.

Add AirPlay Device

Enter AirPlay Parameters:

Configure the device credentials:

  • Name: Enter a clear display name for the target screen (e.g., Main Boardroom Apple TV or Training Room Display) (Mandatory).
  • Device ID: Input the physical MAC address of the AirPlay receiver using the standard colon-separated format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (e.g., 00:11:22:33:44:55).
  • Password: Enter the required device pairing or security password if the destination Apple TV or AirPlay display enforces password authentication.

Save and Push Configuration
