6.1 Accessing the Configurator

Getting access to the Configurator

There are three ways to access the Configurator:

When accessing the configurator for the first time, the ClickShare Configuration Wizard starts automatically.

This configuration wizard can be started at any moment to change your configuration instead of using the menus.

To access the Configurator via the LAN
  1. Open a browser.

    Note: Supported browsers are Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari.
  2. Browse to the IP address of your device.

    Note: If you do not know the IP address due to Show network info is disabled, connect via a direct connection or via a wireless connection to your device to discover the wired IP address.

    A login screen appears.

    The language of the configurator can be changed on any page in the interface.

    The screen is split up in 2 panes. Left pane with the selection buttons and a right pane to configure the selected function.

    The startup screen itself shows:

    • the wired IP address
    • the wireless SSID
    • the number of Buttons connected
    • the system state
    • the SmartCare state

    Each of these boxes are also direct links to the described function.

Note: If you cannot find the IP address (e.g. there is no screen available) you should connect to the Base Unit directly with your laptop via an Ethernet crossover cable and access the web interface using the fixed IP address 192.168.1.23. Make sure your own LAN adapter is set in the 192.168.1.x range.
