If the Interactive Whiteboard Becomes Unresponsive If the interactive whiteboard is unresponsive to contact, check that the SMART Board driver is set to run in projected mode. While projected operation is the default mode for the driver, Non-Projected (Whiteboard Mode) may have been accidentally selected in the Control Panel. To ensure the SMART Board driver is correctly configured, open the SMART Board tools, select Control Panel and make sure Projected (Mouse Mode) is selected for the active COM port. Adjusting the Projected Laptop Image If the Laptop Image Fails to Appear or is Distorted If you’re unable to see an image from a powered-up and connected laptop computer, or the image produced is severely distorted, that laptop’s external video port may be inactive. With newer laptops, you can synchronize the internal and external video ports at the software level, as follows: 1 From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Display. 2 Select the Refresh (or Monitor Refresh) tab. 3 Click the CRT/Panel option to activate simultaneous monitor and external video port display. This procedure may not be possible with older laptop models. With some older laptops, you may need to switch back and forth between the internal and external video ports. If you aren’t sure which commands or keyboard combinations are required for switching back and forth between the internal and external video ports of your laptop, consult your laptop owner’s manual. SMART Board User’s Guide
If Your Laptop’s Serial Port is Unavailable If you’ve connected an interactive whiteboard to a COM port on your laptop computer, but the interactive whiteboard remains unresponsive, you may be experiencing a COM port conflict created by software on your laptop. If you use a laptop or personal digital assistant that transmits information to your computer using infrared (IR) light waves, software resident in your StartUp directory may be telling the COM port to continually monitor for nearby IR devices. Although you can physically connect a serial device such as an interactive whiteboard to the laptop’s COM port, the software can override this connection, reserving the COM port for the device specified by the software. One solution is to use a different COM port. If your IR device software uses COM1 but your computer has COM2 available, perform the following procedure: 1 Plug the interactive whiteboard into COM2. 2 Click the SMART Board icon in the system tray and select Control Panel. 3 Click the Connect button under Serial Ports in the Boards tab. 4 Select COM2 from the drop-down list and click the Select button. If you have only one COM port, you’ll need to disable the detection feature of the infrared software so your interactive whiteboard can use the COM port. If you require further assistance, consult your laptop owner’s manual or call SMART Technical Support at 1.866.518.6791. On-Screen Display Controller for Windows Operating Systems When you use an interactive whiteboard with a projector or a SMART Board for Plasma Displays interactive overlay, you’ll also want to use the On-Screen Display Controller. With an On-Screen Display Controller installed, you’ll never need to hunt for an elusive remote control again. The On-Screen Display Controller offers you the convenience of controlling your projector or PDP – right at the SMART Board (or overlay) surface. And, unlike your remote control, the on-screen controller is no further away than a finger-press on the On-Screen Display Controller icon in the system tray. To help preserve expensive projector lamps or simply to prevent image burn-in in your plasma display, SMART’s On-Screen Display Controller detects the presence of any screen saver you may have installed. The On-Screen Display Controller responds when the screen saver becomes active by automatically turning off the projector lamp or putting the plasma display into sleep mode after a specified period of time has elapsed. As soon as activity resumes on the interactive whiteboard − i.e., after the overlay or SMART Board surface is touched or the mouse is moved − the On-Screen Display Controller will turn the projector lamp back on or reactivate the plasma display panel. To summarize, the On-Screen Display Controller: • allows you to control such aspects of the projector or plasma display as volume, power and input source right at the SMART Board surface • works with your screen saver to put your display into standby mode (turning off your projector lamp or putting your plasma display into sleep mode) after a period of inactivity. The next time you touch the interactive whiteboard, the projector lamp or plasma display is reactivated. In order for an On-Screen Display Controller to work, you’ll need: • an available COM port on your computer SMART Board User’s Guide Win Tip If you don’t have a screen saver installed, consider installing the SMART Bulb Saver, which is especially designed for use with a board.
