Video Tutorial
Please Note
The process of adding a Barco ClickShare device to your XMS Cloud account has changed slightly since the video below was created. Whilst most of this video is still accurate, we recommend following the text instructions in the Adding your Baseunit to the XMS Cloud portal section until we have updated this video.
Adding your Baseunit to the XMS Cloud portal
Using your laptop or computer, search for a new Wi-Fi network to connect to, you should find an ad-hoc network that is labelled with the name of your Player. Connect to it using the password: clickshare
Enter http://192.168.2.1/ into your web browser to access the ClickShare Configurator, and log in using admin as both the username and password
Click System on the left-hand side, then click XMS
Progress through the setup process until you get to the Smartcare Registration section; scan the QR code with a mobile device or click the link as per the screenshot below:
You'll require an internet connection on your laptop to connect to the XMS cloud at this stage, therefore connect the laptop back to your own Wi-Fi if you decided to click the link
You'll be taken to XMS Cloud (you may need to create an account if you do not have one already)
Once logged in, the XMS Cloud will automatically attempt to add your device. Follow the steps to add it to your XMS Cloud account.
After following the steps above, your Base unit should be added to your XMS Cloud.
Adding the Signagelive app from the Marketplace
To install Signagelive on your Barco ClickShare device, you will need the Signagelive app available in the XMS Cloud, which can be found in the Marketplace:
Whilst logged into the XMS Cloud, click the Marketplace button located at the left-hand menu
Search for Signagelive and click View Details
Click Add to XMS
Configuring your device to be a media player
To ensure that your Clickshare device remains on and does not fall into sleep mode, here are the system-level settings we recommend:
Use Wallpaper - ON > Default Image selected
Screensaver - OFF
Eco Mode - Set to Never
Please configure them using the unit's IP or XMS cloud interfaces.
Installing Signagelive on your Baseunit from the XMS Cloud
With the Signagelive app now added to your XMS Cloud account, enabling this on your Barco ClickShare device is next:
Click Manage on the left-hand side menu
Click Baseunits and you'll see a list of your devices
Find your device and click the Manage cogwheel below the Actions column
Click on the Configuration tab
Click the Digital Signage tab below the Configuration Settings section
Select the Signagelive radio button
Click Apply Changes
Upon completing the steps above, your Player will reboot and display your 6-digit activation code, ready to activate within Signagelive.
Please Note
CX-20/CX-30 units are considered low memory, as per the Clickshare documentation. This was a technical limitation introduced in the latest version of the system firmware. You can follow this guide if you would like to downgrade your unit to an earlier version.
