To be able to use a Button it should be assigned to the Base Unit you are using. This process is called pairing.
All Buttons will need to be updated and paired before use.
In case you buy additional Buttons or when a Button should be assigned to another Base Unit, the Button
needs to be paired (again). The Button software update runs in the background and will not impact users while
using the system. When downgrading or updating to an older version of the Base Unit software the Buttons
need to paired manually to update their software.
A Button can only be paired to one Base Unit at a time.
The Button will always make connection to the Base Unit it was last paired to.
Pairing a Button can be done in two ways:
•by plugging the Button to the Base Unit.
•by using the Button Manager application running on your laptop.
To pair a Button to the Base unit by plugging in
1.Insert the Button in one of the USB port available on the Base Unit you are using (image is only given as
example, all USB connectors can be used).

The Base Unit LED is blinking while the Button LED fills up a circle. This means pairing is in progress.
The Base Unit automatically checks whether the software of the Button is up to date. If not, the Base Unit
updates the Button software. This may take more time.
The result of the pairing process can be as follows:
•When the LEDs on the Button become green and on static white on the Base Unit, the Button is paired to
the Base Unit. You can unplug the Button from the Base Unit.
2.Unplug the Button from the Base Unit.
The Button is now ready for use. Plug in a button to conference.

About frequency band & channel selection
In an ideal setup, overlapping channels should not be used for two ClickShare Base Units within range of each
other. As the channels in the 2.4 GHz band overlap with each other, best practice is to use channels 1, 6 and
11 on a single floor. On floors above and below, the channel pattern will be shifted to avoid overlap between
floors, e.g. by placing channel 6 at the center of the illustrated pattern.

To limit the effect of overlapping networks, it is highly recommended to reduce the signal strenght (standard
range of about 30m) of the ClickShare Base Units. Reducing the signal strenght to its minimal value will
reduce the actual range of the ClickShare to about 10m. By doing so, the size of coverage overlapping area
will shrink and the risk for quality degradation will decrease or even disappear.
The 5 GHz channels do not overlap with each other and are less used by non-Wi-Fi devices than the 2.4 GHz
channels. Moreover, 5 GHz signals are more rapidly damped than 2.4 GHz signals. Therefore, the use of a 5
GHz channel is recommended. This will limit the impact of a ClickShare system on other installed ClickShare
units and on other WLAN users.
Frequency band & channel selection
1.Select the wireless connection channel by clicking on the drop down box and selecting the desired channel.
The channels available in the list vary according to the regional version of your Base Unit. Re-pairing the
Buttons is not required when changing the frequency band or wireless connection channel.
Ideally, the ClickShare channel is selected after conducting a wireless site survey. A site survey maps out the
sources of interference and the active RF systems. There are several Wi-Fi survey tools available on the
market. Based on the results from a site survey, the least occupied channel can be found and selected for
each meeting room.
2.Select the wireless connection frequency band: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz by clicking on the drop down box and
selecting the correct band.
Below the channel selection pane, an indication is given of the available bandwidth of the current channel. To
see if sufficient bandwidth is available in a different channel, select the channel in the drop down and save the
changes. The page will reload with the new settings and an indication of the channel fit will be given after
approximately 1 minute. There is no need to reload the page to see the result.
The channels available in the list vary according to the regional version of your Base Unit. Re-pairing the
Buttons is not required when changing the frequency band or wireless connection channel.
When Intense use, change to another Wi-Fi channel is displayed, change to another channel. The page will
reload after approximately 1 minute.
SSID & passphrase
1.Enter a public name (SSID) for the wireless network.
The default SSID is ClickShare-<serial number Base Unit>.
2.If you want to broadcast this SSID, check the checkbox before Enable SSID broadcast.
3.Enter a new WiFi passphrase and confirm that passphrase.
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended to change the Wi-Fi passphrase on first use to prevent
anyone else accessing the Wi-Fi network.

Signal strength
1.Select the Signal Strength. Click on the slider and reduce the broadcasted power (signal strength) until the
desired strength is obtained.
Note: Too low power and interference by others might lead to connection issues. If so, increase again
the signal strength until the issues are solved.
By default the strength is set to 100%.
Reducing the signal strength limits the effect of overlapping networks in the 2.4 GHz channels. Not necessary
for the 5 GHz channels as their is no overlap.
ClickShare Configurator (WebUI) access via Wi-Fi

6.12 LAN settings
About LAN network settings
A network connection can be configured through DHCP or by manually entering a fixed IP address.
DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network
administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's
network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique
IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection to the Internet, an
IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered
manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location in another part of the
network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and
distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a
computer is plugged into a different place in the network.
Hostname & method

About SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an internet standard protocol for collecting and organizing
information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device
behaviour. In general a SNMP management suite (running on a server) communicates with an SNMP agent
(running on the device). The SNMP agent collects and exposes device information in the form of variables
according a MIB (Management Information Base). SNMP management suites will be able to approach
ClickShare devices via SNMP protocol for requesting device information.
SNMPv3 is supported.
How to enable
1.Log in to the Configurator.
2.Click WiFi & Network → Services.
3.Scroll to SNMP.

6.16 Security, security level
About security levels
For the use of the ClickShare system, a security level can be set. By default, level 1 is activated. A security
level is a predefined set of settings which are automatically set when a level is selected.
Level 1 : offers support for normal day-to-day operations in any organization.
Level 1 contains the standard security options and encryption of audio and video data.
The standard security options are:
•PIN code activation for mobile apps and Buttons,
•ClickShare Configurator (WebUI) access via HTTPS with login management,
Level 2 : this level offers a higher degree of security, fit for organizations that are more sensitive to security
matters.
Level 2 contains the level 1 security and a mandatory PIN code for mobile devices. Alphanumeric PIN codes
for mobile apps and Buttons and the Buttons require a certificate for pairing.
Level 3 : this level is used for organizations that have extremely strict requirements with regards to security.
Level 3 contains the level 2 security extended with blocking of mobile apps, downgrading firmware not
possible and no wireless access to the Configurator (WebUI).
R5900096 /00 CX-5080
Page 81
CX-50 Configurator
When a security level is set, the individual items included in that security level can be changed using the
individual item in the Configurator. When changing an individual item the security level indication will be
adapted accordingly, but no other settings will be changed automatically.
E.g. when level 3 is set and you change mobile app blocking to allowed, then the security level indication will
change to level 2. But all other items initially in level 3 remains in the level 3 state.
To reset your individual changes, select the desired security level and click Save changes.
Changing the security level will require a re-pairing of the Buttons.
Changing the security level from 1 to a higher level will change the compatibility setting for Buttons
with certificate (R9861006D01). They cannot re-pair as long as the security setting is higher than
level 1.
