3.2 Guidelines for ClickShare Conference system
installation
Overview
• Keep your Base Unit up to date. For an optimal experience and to assure the security of the overall system
free updates are multiple times available.
• It is recommended to connect the Base Unit to the network (wired Ethernet connection or wireless
connection) for the best user experience for users, guests, employees and administrators. By doing so,
both guests and employees can make use of BYOD services (e.g. AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast) but
also the ClickShare Apps without disconnecting from the wireless network or losing their internet
connection.
• It is recommended to use a direct connection between the Conferencing Button and the Base Unit for high
quality and low latency wireless conferencing.
• Place the Base Unit in an open emplacement and avoid installing a metallic shell.
• For an optimal user experience, both ClickShare and BYOD services such as AirPlay, Google Cast or
Miracast, have different implementations for presence and proximity detection. To take full advantage of
these mechanisms, we strongly advise to install the ClickShare Base Unit inside the meeting room,
physically close to the display and not in a closed cabinet.
• Always connect your camera and/or audio device via USB to the Base Unit.
• For optimal security, it is strongly advised to change the default passwords.
• When connecting the Base Unit onto the corporate network to enable BYOD protocols and the ClickShare
Apps to share, we strongly advise to change the standby mode to “eco standby”. If not, BYOD protocols,
the ClickShare apps and possibly the ClickShare Button will not be able to wake the Base Unit from
standby.
For a more detailed guidelines, see “Network Deployment Guide” available on the support pages of
the product on Barco’s website.
