About Software updates
There are two ways to update the Base Unit software:
• via the Web Interface, for more information, see "Base Unit software update", page 82
• by copying the software on a USB stick
To update the Base Unit software by copying the software on a USB stick
1. Download the latest version of the software from Barco's website, , www.barco.com/clickshare. Click on Visit the ClickShare
product page and go to tab Downloads
2. Unzip the file and copy the ipk file to a USB stick.
3. Rename the file to clickshare_firmware.ipk.
Renaming is necessary as the software will look for that specific filename on the device.
4. Insert the USB stick into the USB port at the front of the Base Unit.
5. Follow the instructions on the meeting room screen.
6. When the on-screen message indicates that the process is finished, remove the USB stick.
The Base Unit shuts down.
When updating the Base Unit software to version 01.06 or higher, the Button software will update automati-
cally over WiFi and does not need manual pairing again. The Button software update runs in the background
and will not impact users while using the system. If desired, this feature can be disabled in the Web Interface.
When downgrading or updating to an older version of the Base Unit software the Buttons need to paired man-
ually to update their software.
Once upgraded to software version 01.07 or higher it is not possible to downgrade again below version 1.07.
Important notice for updating to software version 01.05 and above
Please note that firmware versions 01.04 and above are digitally signed to raise security level. To change from an unsigned firmware
version to signed firmware, an intermediate step is required. This step is included in firmware version 01.04. As a result, updating
firmware version 01.03 to firmware version 01.05 requires first an update from version 01.03 to 01.04, followed by an update from
01.04 to 01.05. When updating firmware version 01.04 to higher versions, no special action is required. Downgrading a firmware
version to an older version does not require an intermediate step.
Flows to follow when up or downgrading between signed and unsigned versions:
