Note
If you choose to manually add a Mac running Reflector through your Ditto Account Portal, you will need the computer's IP address and the MAC address.
Step 1 - Gather Network Information
- Click the Apple in the top left corner of your screen and select System Preferences
- In the System Preferences window, select Network
- Select the network you’re currently on in the left menu
- Once your network is selected, find and note your IP address under Status
- Click the "Advanced…” button
- Click the Hardware tab
- Locate and note the MAC address on this screen
Step 2
Log in to your Ditto account and navigate to the Receivers section.
Step 3
Click “New Receiver” (or “Add Your First Receiver” if you haven’t added a receiver yet).
Step 4
Click on "Other"
Note: If you have previously set up a receiver in your account, you will need to click "I don't have a code" first.
Step 5
- Enter receiver name. You can make this whatever you want, but it should be identifiable, such as "Mac Mini" or "iMac"
- Enter the network information you gathered in Step 1
- Set the Connection Type to AirPlay or Cast.
Note: We recommend AirPlay, but It does not matter which option you choose as long as you ensure that your Reflector software settings allow AirPlay/Cast connections. - Click "Pair Receiver."
Step 6
Add this receiver to a room. This is how you make a room “active.” Learn how to set up rooms.
Note: You may create as many receivers as you want. You are not billed until you pair a room to a receiver to create an “active” room.
Once you pair a receiver to a room, you're ready to connect to the room or create connection instructions for your users!
