Pairing a Transmitter

The QuattroPod receiver can be paired with up to 32 transmitters simultaneously. The transmitters are paired with the supplied receiver by default. You can purchase additional transmitters or use transmitters with a different receiver. For this, the transmitters must be paired with the respective receiver.

There are three ways to pair a transmitter with a receiver:

Connect to the Receiver

The transmitter is connected to the receiver's USB port, and the devices pair automatically. Some find this option easiest if the receiver is easy to reach. If the receiver is mounted on the ceiling or simply hard to reach, pair the transmitter either via QR code or via USB stick.

Pairing Type-A

  • Connect the USB-A adapter to the transmitter and switch the transmitter to Type-A. Connect the transmitter to the receiver's USB-A port:

Switching transmitter to PC

The message "Pairing..." automatically appears on the QuattroPod start screen. During pairing, the transmitter blinks red and the receiver blinks white.

Transmitter pairing with receiver

After a few seconds, the message "Pairing OK" appears on the start screen. The receiver and transmitter light up white. The transmitter is now paired with the QuattroPod under Type-A. The transmitter must be paired with the receiver under both Type-A and Type-C modes.

Pairing completed

The transmitter can now be used for screen sharing.

Pairing Type-C

  • Connect the USB-A adapter to the transmitter and switch the transmitter to Type-C. Connect the transmitter to the receiver's USB-A port:

Pairing completed

  • If you have the transmitter paired under both Type-A and Type-C modes, it is now ready for use. A comprehensive guide to the individual transmitter functions Type-A, Type-C, and Mobile can be found in the Quick Start Guide.

The transmitter can now be used for screen sharing.

Pairing Transmitter via QR Code

To pair in Type-A mode, connect the transmitter to the receiver

Pairing via QR code in Type-A mode is not supported. To pair the transmitter with the receiver in Type-A mode, connect the transmitter to the receiver.

Note

This step must be done in the same room or within the receiver's wireless range.

  • Disconnect the USB-A adapter from the transmitter and switch the transmitter to Mobile. Connect the transmitter to a USB-C port on your Windows/macOS computer:

Open Advanced Settings

  • To access the web interface, connect your notebook to the QuattroPod either via the QuattroPod's SSID or the same Wi-Fi or LAN infrastructure the QuattroPod is connected to:

  • In the address bar of a web browser, enter the IP address of the Cast Go!, either the Direct Link IP or the Infrastructure IP, depending on which your notebook is connected to. The Cast Go! settings interface appears:

Display QR Code

  • If the extended desktop is active, first switch to the monitor mode Duplicate. Press the keyboard shortcut [Windows key] + [P]:

  • Scroll down to the bottom of the page to fully display the QR code:

  • Within 5 seconds, the transmitter detects the QR code and pairs with the receiver. This is confirmed with "Transmitter 192.168.168.xxx is connected" on the start screen:

The transmitter can now be used for screen sharing.

Pairing Transmitter via USB Stick

To pair in Type-A mode, connect the transmitter to the receiver

Pairing via QR code in Type-A mode is not supported. To pair the transmitter with the receiver in Type-A mode, connect the transmitter to the receiver.

If the receiver is out of range and difficult to access, you can download a pairing file and copy it to the transmitter using a USB stick.

  • Format the stick as FAT32.

There are two ways to save the pairing file on the USB stick:

Download pairing file via Web Interface

  • Download the pairing file pairingInfo.json from the menu item Admin Settings of the web interface:

Download pairing file

  • Then copy the file to a USB stick. You do not need to delete any other files.

IMPORTANT: The pairing file must be saved at the root of the USB stick.

Copy pairing file to USB stick

Download pairing file via Receiver

  • Connect the USB stick to the receiver's USB port and press the pairing button on the top of the receiver. After a few seconds, the pairing file is copied to the USB stick, and the receiver's pairing button lights up white.
