XMS (virtual) Edge - About XMS

1.1 About XMS

Overview

eXperience Management Suite (XMS) is an application that gives an overview of all ClickShare Base Units installed within the company network. It is a server installed application on Barco’s XMS Edge or on a virtual machine connected to the network. The functionality can be accessed by users via a web browser based application from anywhere within the network. A user/admin may inspect and/or change a large set of data about the ClickShare Base Units and Buttons without leaving their desk. This is especially useful in large corporations with many ClickShare Base Units installed across different sites. Before the application on the XMS (virtual) Edge can be used, it must be registered on Barco’s website.

The information provided includes:

Health and status monitoring
Schedule software updates and reboots
User management and user notifications

An administrator can define different roles for different users. Depending on these roles, access to some function can be limited.

To realize the communication between the XMS Edge or virtual machine and the Base Units, typical ports should be activated. For an overview of these ports, see “Network requirements”.

In order to diagnose connection problems between XMS and the Base Units please see “Diagnose connection issues”.
