Keep the Base Unit and Button(s) up to date

Barco keeps improving their devices, this means extending existing features and adding new ones, but also providing security patches. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to keep the Base Unit up to date with the latest available firmware, and ensure Buttons are also updated. To simplify this, it is strongly recommended to connect them to the internet to get automatic updates.

To ensure and update of all Buttons, Barco strongly recommends pairing all Buttons with a Base Unit immediately after the Base Unit has been updated.

XMS Cloud

Manage Base Units through XMS Cloud management platform to receive updates.

XMS Cloud is Barco’s secure cloud based solution for the configuration, remote management and real-time status monitoring of the devices, distributed over different locations. Enabling easy & automated (scheduling of) software updates, Base Unit configuration, creation of templates, remote wallpaper installation, user management and insights to drive the digital workplace.

Keep Base Units secured

Ensure that the Base Unit cannot be removed or replaced by securing the device appropriately. Barco recommends the use of the included kensington lock feature.

Change the default Wi-Fi password

Barco strongly recommends changing the default Wi-Fi password (only applicable when WPA2-PSK mode is used), this makes it more difficult for malicious people, without physical access to the devices, to intercept the traffic between the Base Unit and the Button.

Change the default configurator password

Barco strongly recommends changing the default configurator password. Anyone with malicious intentions who can access the Base Unit locally or via adjacent networks will definitely verify if the Base Unit’s configurator can be accessed to extract valuable information like Wi-Fi credentials.
