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

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.

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

6.11 Wi-Fi settings, Wireless Client

Introduction

Wireless Client mode allows to connect the Base Unit to a network over Wi-Fi instead of via the Ethernet
interface. It brings identical functionality as a wired network connection; complete network integration, auto-
update functionality and central management in XMS. It offers increased flexibility in the placement of the
Base Unit as a network cable drop is no longer required on the installation location.

Note that when Wireless Client mode is enabled, the Base Unit Wi-Fi is occupied and can no longer be used
for direct connections, either from the ClickShare Button, the ClickShare apps or from Airplay or Google Cast
and Miracast. This means that these connections need to happen over the corporate network. As a
consequence, when setting up Wireless Client mode, the Buttons are auto-configured to connect to the same
network as the Base Unit. This setting however can be manually changed in the Buttons tab in the System
menu.
