options: Home, Work, and Public. If TriCaster’s active network has inadvertently been set to
‘Public’, AirPlay® will not connect. Be sure this is set to either Home or Work.
A2: By default, the Windows® firewall is disabled on TriCaster. If your AirPlay device does not
recognize TriCaster after enabling AirPlay for Net 1 or Net 2, it may be that someone has enabled
it, and it is preventing connection. You can either disable it, or (if you really must have it) adjust
its settings as follows:
1. Exit to Windows from the Shutdown menu in TriCaster’s Home Page.
2. Open the Windows® Firewall interface by clicking the Start button, and then clicking the
Control Panel link. (Alternatively, type “firewall” without quotes into the Search box and
press Enter; then click Windows Firewall).
3. In the left pane, click Advanced Settings. (If prompted for an administrator password or
confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation).
4. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog box, click Inbound Rules in the
left pane, and then click New Rule in the right pane.
5. Follow the instructions in the New Inbound Rule wizard.
