Abstract
This document describes management capabilities for a wireless docking experience. A wireless dock is configured to connect to multiple peripheral devices, such as a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. Mobile devices can connect to the wireless dock, via a short-range wireless connection, to utilize the multiple peripheral devices. When deployed with other wireless docks, the wireless dock can be configured to provide management information with a broadcast signal that is usable by the mobile devices to manage the wireless connection to, and experience with, the wireless dock. The management information can include one or more of a do-not-automatically-connect indicator, an in-use indicator, an Internet-available indicator, or a group identifier.
