10. Technology Requirements & Recommendations
1) Nomenclature
a) KLIK Transmitter & Receiver
Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) refer to the two components of a KLIK wireless streaming system, whether they are in software-only or embedded software/hardware form. For instance, the KLIKConnect app for Windows is a KLIK Software Transmitter (Tx), and the KLIKLink HDMI Sender is a Hardware Transmitter (Tx). Likewise, the KLIKBoks HUB for Android app is a KLIK Software Receiver (Rx), and the KLIKBoks HUB is a Hardware Receiver (Rx). Similar nomenclature applies to Hardware and Software transmitters and receivers such as AirPlay® and Google Cast®.

3) Network Configuration and Requirements
c) Introduction
In large organizations it is most likely the case that the KLIK receiver and transmitter are connected to different subnets. If those subnets do not allow broadcasts or peer-to-peer connections between them, additional network configuration will be necessary to configure KLIK. KLIK makes use of three different network protocols:
W UDP (ports 6618 and 6619) broadcast to let the transmitter discover any available receiver.
W TCP (socket port 6619) for the stream from transmitter to receiver.
W HTTP (port 9090) for the KLIKStream functionality.
The above information can be used to make some specific network configurations for KLIK.
d) Auto-Discovery of the KLIK Receiver
KLIK transmitters can automatically discover KLIK receivers by sending a directed UDP broadcast packet on port 6618 to the local subnet. On the same subnet, KLIK receivers will respond to this packet and make themselves available for connection. However, if the KLIK transmitter and receiver are in different subnets, the broadcast doesn't reach the receiver. This could be solved by configuring the network infrastructure to forward broadcasts to other network segments or specified hosts, i.e. by defining a custom IP forward protocol (UDP 6618) and defining an IP helper address on the relevant interface. The IP helper address would either: point to the IP address of the receiver, or the broadcast address of the destination network. As this procedure differs, (or might not be possible) depending on the brand of the network infrastructure, a certain level of network knowledge and admin level access is needed to accomplish this task.
e) Manually adding the KLIK Receiver
When network configuration is not feasible, it is possible to establish a connection by clicking the magnifying glass in the transmitter interface and entering an IP address. This approach doesn't require a broadcast between the transmitter and the receiver.
W To set this up, the receiver should ideally be configured with a fixed IP address.
It should also be noted that this solution will only work for Windows and macOS transmitters as it is currently not possible to enter the IP address of a receiver in the transmitter interface of the Android application.
f) KLIK Traffic between Subnets
In cross-subnet scenarios, it might be needed to set up the necessary ACLs in order to enable traffic between KLIK devices. The most generic solution would be to allow all network traffic between the subnets. However, in most cases, this will probably not be possible due to company policies. Traffic should still be allowed to just those protocols and ports required by KLIK to ensure a working setup.
When KLIK is deployed into the existing network, the host PC and the clients require wired or wireless network connection with a minimum bandwidth of 20 Mbps. When running HD content, increase the minimum bandwidth to 50 Mbps.
Like any network application, overall performance is dependent on available bandwidth. Internet access is required to activate the KLIK Windows or Android Software (server) and install software updates for KLIK Windows or Android Software (server). Internet access is also required to install and update the KLIK client apps for Windows, Mac, and Android.
g) AirPlay
h) 1. Local traffic only:
AirPlay applications use a direct connection method through the local network. Receiver (RX) is directly connected from Apple devices.
You must be on the same VLAN or subnet within the network to connect; Apple's AirPlay cannot cross subnets/VLANs natively, this is a limitation of Apple's AirPlay.
If you require the connecting devices to be on different subnets, then you may wish to have the IT department look into a Bonjour Gateway for the network. Some network hardware will have this functionality built-in and others may require a third-party solution.
The Bonjour Gateway and airplay proxy will allow AirPlay to cross subnets/VLANs so your devices may communicate. This, however, will show all AirPlay devices on the network, so the users may wish to change the broadcast name and add an AirPlay password as well.
i) 2. Multicast availability:
The local network must be allowed to run Bonjour, mDNS, and Multicast must be enabled. The Bonjour protocol consists of service announcements and service queries that allow devices to ask for and advertise specific applications, such as AirPlay. For our purposes, we are primarily concerned with AirPlay availability.
Each query or advertisement is sent to the Bonjour multicast address for delivery to all clients on the subnet. Apple’s Bonjour protocol relies on Multicast DNS (mDNS) operating at UDP port 5353 and sends to these reserved group addresses:
W IPv4 Group Address - 224.0.0.251
The addresses used by the Bonjour protocol are link-local multicast addresses and thus are only forwarded locally. Routers cannot use multicast routing to redirect the traffic because the time to live (TTL) is set to one, and link-local multicast is meant to stay local by design.
j) 3. Required Ports:
AirPlay ports must be available on the subnet or VLAN being used to connect your devices as well. Here is the port list that AirPlay will use with our applications:
W IPv4 Group Address 224.0.0.251 port 5353 (MDNS - Apple) (These ports are used for AirPlay detection on the network) TCP port 7000 (AirPlay protocol), and other dynamic TCP ports (for mirror) and UDP port (for RTP audio)
W Receiver (RX) will also access TCP 80/443 for any directly connected videos (such as YouTube), and that should be the only external access the application uses.
Everything else will be local traffic with no need to access the internet.
k) 4. Multicast Groups:
Some networks may use a Multicast group to manage multicast traffic. When multicast is enabled, then all multicast traffic will flow to all connected clients in a subnet. Using a multicast group to limit the number of clients receiving the multicast data reduces the overall workload being placed on the network.
Using groups is typically not required, but it can help many AirPlay devices on the network. When creating multicast groups, there are 3 important factors to consider:
- Multicast groups must include the subnets or VLANs where AirPlay devices (and clients that may mirror those devices) are connected.
- All AirPlay devices and clients must be members of the multicast group.
- If using multicast groups, then IGMP Snooping must be enabled on the network to allow devices to listen to the multicast group. This allows the devices to see the multicast group traffic without affecting the rest of the network.
Using all of the above information contained in this guide, should ensure that any network is compatible with AirPlay and Bonjour services.
4) Google Cast
Google Cast queries or advertisements are sent to the mDNS multicast address for delivery to all clients on the subnet (same network). It relies on mDNS operating at:
W UDP port 5353 (internal, not your NAT firewall) and each query or advertisement is sent to the following reserved group addresses:
W IPv4 Group Address – 224.0.0.251
The addresses used by the mDNS protocol are link-local multicast addresses and thus are only forwarded on the local L2 domain. Routers cannot use multicast routing to redirect the traffic because the time to live (TTL) is set to one, and link-local multicast is meant to stay local by design. If you are using a newer, higher-end router with wireless N and AC, some of these offer different network SSID (human readable network identifiers, i.e., Classroom WiFi, Meeting WiFi, etc.) and also have a feature to separate the two on different but routable subnets. Unless you can permit these to traverse it, ensure you are on the same SSID and subnet for both.
Google Cast receiver uses the following ports:
W TCP: 8008, 8009-used to let devices offer media sources for the receiving device to play
W UDP: 5353-used to broadcast advertising packet for transmitter to discover.
