How do I set up Multi-Factor Authentication on the My Base App?

For security, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now required to use the My Base App. MFA increases security on our platform and requires users to authenticate themselves via their username/password and with a time-limited code (each code expires after 60 seconds). This code is obtained via an Authenticator App, email or SMS. New authentication is required once every 30 days; if the user logs out or if we update CSL Live.

How it works:

  1. Log in to My Base as normal with your username and password.
  2. Receive a code via an Authenticator App, email or SMS.
  3. Enter the code within My Base.
  4. You are now securely logged in.

If you have any issues with the steps above, resetting your password will restart the authentication process. If the issue persists and you require support, call CSL Technical Support on +44 (0) 1895 474 444.

Can I check a device's signal strength via My Base?

Yes - once a device is commissioned, you will be able to check whether the device is connected and what signal strength it has (only relevant for Radio paths, LAN paths simply show if LAN is connected or not).

Signal strength is shown on a scale from 0 - 10, with 10 being the highest strength. You should aim for a minimum of 4/10 or more to send & receive signals reliably. Devices meeting this strength level will show a GREEN TICK next to the path. Devices with 3/10 or less will show a RED CROSS next to the path. This is not a suitable level of connectivity; you may experience issues sending and receiving signals.
