Pincode protection adds an extra layer of security when connecting to a ClickShare Base Unit. When enabled, users must enter a randomly generated pincode displayed on the meeting room screen to establish a connection.
Enabling pincode protection
-
Open the ClickShare Configurator of your Base Unit (how-to, see KB2324).
-
Go to Wi-Fi & Network > Services.
-
In the Passcode type dropdown menu, choose Numeric passcode to enable pincode authentication.
Note: Pincode protection applies to the ClickShare App and all BYOD screen sharing protocols except Google Cast. For more detailed information please refer to your respective Base Unit installation manual (how to: see KB9362).
