ClickShare FAQ
Q: Can we fixate the ClickShare Button to the table?
A: There are no provisions to fixate the ClickShare Button on the table.
Q: Does the ClickShare Button work with USB 3.0 ports?
A: The ClickShare Button is a USB 2.0 device. It will work on a USB 3.0 port as well.
Q: Do I need admin rights on my laptop to use ClickShare?
A: No, you do not need admin rights on your laptop to use ClickShare.
Q: Do you offer remote administration capabilities to maintain and configure
the Base Units collectively?
A: No, our first release does not offer remote or collective administration capabilities.
Q: Do you offer a rack mount kit and what is included?
A: Yes, we offer a 19” rack mount kit. This kit includes the rack mount, mounting screws and extension
cables to bring the antennas to the front of the rack.
Wireless network
Q: Can I detect the network of the ClickShare Base Unit when I scan for
wireless networks?
A: That depends on the configuration of the Base Unit: you can select whether the SSID (Service Set
Identifier) is broadcasted or not. If the SSID is broadcasted, the network will appear in your list of
wireless networks. If the SSID is not broadcasted, it depends on your operating system and the
software you use to scan for wireless networks or devices. At most, a network called “SSID not
broadcasted” or “Hidden WLAN” (or something similar) will show up in the list of wireless networks.
By default, the SSID is not broadcasted.
Q: Can I connect to the Base Unit using my laptop’s wireless connection?
A: To connect to the Base Unit’s built-in wireless access point, you need to know its SSID and password.
When connected, this link can only be used for administration purposes.
Q: What about interference with other wireless devices?
A: ClickShare works in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. This leaves you with many channels to choose
from. The web interface of the Base Unit allows you to manually select the most appropriate channel to
be used by the system.
Q: Do you support Bluetooth?
A: No, we only support IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n, commonly called Wi-Fi.
Q: What prevents the shared content from being seen or accessed if the
application on the Base Unit is hacked over the network? Is this possible?
A: There are two levels of security on ClickShare. First of all, the network between the Base Unit and
the ClickShare Buttons is protected with WPA2-PSK authentication. In the unlikely case that this would
be hacked, we arrive at the second level of encryption: the content itself that is sent over the network is
also encrypted. Next to that, it is also interesting to note that we are not sending the file itself over the
network, but only snapshots of the laptop’s screen.
