ClickShare CSE-200 base unit firmware update v1.8.0.6

ClickShare is adding a set of important features to its portfolio. The new functionalities will improve both the user experience as well as the ClickShare IT friendliness.

The main features this release includes

• Custom Button Integration allows for greater flexibility when integrating your ClickShare devices by giving you full control over both the Button connection and the wireless settings of the Base Unit separately. This allows to enable presence detection for the ClickShare desktop App when the Button is fully integrated in the corporate network and to support direct connectivity for guests or BYOD.
• Windows driver support for the ClickShare Button on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. The Windows driver removes the last hurdle in the ClickShare Button experience by removing any need for manual action before sharing. The Windows driver automatically launches the ClickShare Client on the Button, allowing to click the button without any user action. The Windows pc will automatically download the driver from the Windows Update store upon first insertion of the ClickShare Button (internet connection required).
• Prevent laptop going to standby when a Button is sharing content to the Base Unit for an improved experience during presentations.

Next to the addition of features, a number of known issues from the earlier firmware version has been resolved

• In certain instances, the internal Wi-Fi module became unavailable and required a reboot of the Base Unit.
• It occurred that EAP-TLS authentication did not work after a reboot.
• In the ClickShare configuration page, no message appeared to confirm that changes were applied.

Important notes to consider before upgrading

• This firmware introduces a mechanism for the auto renewal of (self-signed) certificates when they are expired. The user will not notice anything from this process.
• As from the 1.8 firmware version, support for older Buttons without certificate (article number R9861006D01) is dropped on CS-100 (Huddle), CSE-200, CSE-200+ and CSE-800 models.
• Support for MirrorOp has been dropped and we advise to work with the ClickShare apps.
• For the Windows driver for ClickShare to detect the Button, they require an update. This will go automatically via update over Wi-Fi. Alternatively they can be paired and updated manually by plugging the Buttons into the respective Base Unit.
