About managing software update

The software page will check if the current version is the latest available version. When a newer software version is available there are several methods to install:

• Automatic update: whenever a new version is available, then ClickShare will automatically install the new update whenever the Base Unit is idle.
• Manual update: allows the admin to start an update of the Base Unit when a newer version is available.
• Plug and update: updates the Base Unit whenever a USB stick with a newer software file is connected.
• Manual USB update: allows the admin to start an update from a connected USB stick with a newer software file.

Minimum versions

Each software version can be downgraded to a minimum version. This minimum version includes some dependencies that are not allowed to be overwritten or removed by an earlier software version. For more information to see the minimum version of the software, see the release notes of the version.

   • If yes, enable the toggle button after Allow plug and update (reference 3, Image 7–33). Go to step 5.
