Board

Overview

The InterwriteTM Board is central to the Interactive Classroom. These durable

electronic whiteboards feature Interwrite Learning’s patented electromagnetic technology. Used alone, or in combination with Interwrite Interwrite Board will provide the most effective means of facilitating and stimulating a successful interactive, collaborative environment, whether in the classroom, in the meeting room, or reaching out to participants around the world.

You will see in this Getting Started guide how versatile your Interwrite Board installation can be, accommodating every type of presentation environment. Every step of the setup and installation process for each possible configuration is described in these pages. In addition, a variety of accessories are described. Some of the Interwrite Board accessories, such as an electronic pen, are required, others are optional. In any case, we will show how they can be used to uniquely tailor your interactive environment to your requirements.

Once set up, your Interwrite Board must be able to communicate with your computer, either by means of a cable connection (serial or USB), or wirelessly, using the Bluetooth manages the communication link with your Interwrite Board, controls its operation, and provides a robust set of tools to achieve the interactive experience.

Pads, your

You will use Interwrite Workspace software tools to establish communication with your Interwrite Board and to calibrate it. Calibration ensures that the cursor on the projected image is properly aligned with the tip of the electronic Interwrite Pen on the whiteboard’s surface.

The Interwrite software lets you operate your Interwrite Board in one of two primary operational modes: Whiteboard Mode and Interactive Mode.

Whiteboard Mode makes it possible for you to easily capture the notes, drawings and calculations on your Interwrite Board for print and/or electronic distribution. The only equipment you need to run the Whiteboard Mode is your Interwrite Board, one or more electronic Interwrite Marker Pens, and your computer.

InterwriteTM Board Getting Started

Interactive Mode allows you to take advantage of the full power and features of the Interwrite system. Running Interactive Mode requires your Interwrite Board, an Interactive Pen or one or more Marker Pens, a computer, and a video presentation projector. The video projector is connected to the computer so it can project the image of the computer desktop onto the Interwrite Board’s surface. Once connected, your Interwrite Board communicates as an input device to the computer.

Installation Overview

This section describes what you will be doing and the order in which you will be doing it, to facilitate the installation of your Interwrite Board and its preparation for use.

1. Unpack Your Interwrite Board

Open the shipping box and remove the Accessory Box. Leave the Interwrite Board in the box until you are ready to mount it.

In the Accessories section of this guide, you will see that a variety of Interwrite Board accessories are available to help you create the interactive environment that best suits your requirements. Following is a basic list of the Interwrite accessories likely to be included with your Interwrite Board:

USB Cable Cable Guides Power Supply

Board

Getting Started Guide

If you are going to connect your Interwrite Board using a cable, only one cable, either Serial or USB, can be used. If you are going wireless, neither cable should be used.

If your Power Supply shipped with a set of adapters, the instructions for fitting the correct adapter on the plug are described on page 17. If you are connecting your Interwrite Board using a USB cable, the Power Supply is not needed. However, the Power Supply is required if you are using a serial connection, attaching the BTCOM2 Module to the board for wireless communication, or connecting the Interactive Pen Charging Station to the board’s controller.

The Cable Guides are used to manage and guide dangling cables.

The optional Mounting Clips will be used only when you are mounting your Interwrite Board on the wall. Their installation is described in the Accessories section on page 42.

The Pen Tray is an optional accessory. If you are planning to mount your Interwrite Board on the wall and you purchased a Pen Tray, it should be installed on your Interwrite Board before it is mounted on the wall. Instructions for attaching the Pen Tray can be found on page 43.

Your Interwrite Board ships with one Wall Mounting Bracket. The board’s frame is designed to hang from the Mounting Bracket installed on the wall.

InterwriteTM Board Getting Started

You will need an electronic Interwrite Pen to use with your Interwrite Board. You can choose from among the Interactive Pen, the Marker Pen and the rechargeable Interactive Pen, described beginning on page 39.

The optional Interwrite Interactive Pen Charging Station (page 38) is designed to attach easily to the Interwrite Board frame. Nevertheless, it can be mounted instead on the wall, although it should be close enough to the Interwrite Board’s controller so it can be plugged into the Power Connector on the top of the controller housing. (The Pen Charging Station can be plugged directly into a wall socket or power strip. The power cable with a standard power plug for such an installation is sold separately.) If you are mounting your Interwrite Board on the wall, you should attach the Pen Charging Station to the Interwrite Board before you mount it.

The Interwrite Learning CD contains the Interwrite Workspace software for both a Windows installation and a Mac installation. Interwrite Workspace must be installed on your computer before you can complete the installation of your Interwrite Board.

2. Mount Your Interwrite Board

Will this be a wall mount, or a floor stand mount? If you are mounting your Interwrite Board on a floor stand, you need to assemble the floor stand first. The instructions for assembling your floor stand are included in the floor stand shipping box. In addition, instructions for assembling your floor stand can be found on page 44 in this guide.

The type of mount will also determine which Mounting Brackets, if any, you will attach to the back of the Interwrite Board. For a floor stand mount, two Mounting Brackets are attached to the back of the Interwrite Board with supplied Phillips screws. These Mounting Brackets ship with the floor stand.

For a wall mount, the Interwrite Board requires only one Mounting Bracket, which is attached to the wall. The frame of the Interwrite Board is designed to overlap the Mounting Bracket on the wall. The hardware for attaching the Mounting Bracket to the wall is not included. You will supply the hardware that is appropriate to the type of wall on which the Interwrite Board is being mounted.

WALL MOUNT

If you purchased a Pen Tray and/or an Interactive Pen Charging Station, install them before you hang the Interwrite Board on the Wall Mounting Bracket. If you plan to use the optional Mounting Clips (page 42) to stabilize your wall-mounted board, install them after you have mounted your Interwrite Board on the wall.

Getting Started InterwriteTM Board

FLOOR STAND MOUNT

After you assemble the floor stand, attach the two Mounting Brackets to the back of the Interwrite Board using the Phillips screws provided. It requires two people, one at each end of the Interwrite Board, to mount it on the floor stand. It is attached using the Knob Screws provided. You can attach the Pen Tray and/or Pen Charging Station after the Interwrite Board is mounted on the floor stand.

3. Install the Interwrite Workspace Software

4. Connect Your Interwrite Board

Your Interwrite Board must be able to communicate with the Interwrite Workspace software on your computer. This communication link is established either by means of a physical cable (USB or serial) connection, or wirelessly between two Bluetooth communication modules—one connected to the Interwrite Board and one connected to the computer. The computer will automatically find an Interwrite Board that is connected to it by a cable, but the wireless Bluetooth Modules must be “connected” by the Interwrite Device Manager, one of the Interwrite Workspace software applications.

5. Connect the Video Projector

In order to run Interwrite Workspace in Interactive Mode, a video projector must be connected to the computer.

6. Prepare the Electronic Interwrite Pens and Install the Pen Charging Station

The Interwrite Marker Pen must be assembled and a battery installed before use. A battery is installed in the Interactive Pen. The optional Pen Charging Station is installed on the Interwrite Board and the rechargeable Interactive Pens must be charged before they can be used. Instructions for attaching the Pen Charging Station to the Interwrite Board are on page 38. Instructions for assembling the Marker Pen and the Interactive Pen are on pages 40 and 41.

7. Calibrate Your Interwrite Board

Your Interwrite Board needs to be calibrated to ensure that the tip of the electronic Interwrite Pen is aligned with the cursor on the projected image. Any time the Interwrite Board or video projector is moved, the Interwrite Board must be re-calibrated.

Connect the Interwrite Devices

The Interwrite Workspace software component Device Manager is the driver for the Interwrite Devices—Interwrite Boards, Interwrite Pads and the Interwrite Panel. Device Manager is loaded when Interwrite Workspace is successfully installed on the computer. It automatically detects a cabled Interwrite Board or Interwrite Panel. However, the wireless Interwrite Devices need to be discovered – and, in the case of the Mac, to select a Service – before the communication connection is complete.

The following sections describe how to connect wireless Interwrite Devices, first on Windows, then on the Mac.

Once the Interwrite Devices are connected, a user with Administrator privileges will calibrate the Interwrite Board.

Connecting a Wireless Device on Windows

The last step in setting up wireless communications between your Bluetooth modules on the Interwrite Board and your PC is performed by Device Manager. Make sure the Interwrite Board is powered on.

Connect the Video Projector

The Interwrite Board is connected to the computer, either wirelessly or wired, so it can communicate with the computer as an input device. The communication between the two is governed by the Interwrite Workspace software. Interwrite Workspace makes it possible to run this system in one of the Interwrite operational modes.

Whiteboard Mode is used when you want to capture notes, drawings and calculations made on the Interwrite Board using the electronic Interwrite Marker Pens. The only equipment you need to run Whiteboard Mode is an Interwrite Board, one or more Marker Pens, and the computer. The video projector is not used in Whiteboard Mode.

Interactive Mode and Office Mode (Windows only) require an Interwrite Board, one of the electronic Interwrite Pens (Interactive Pen, Recharge- able Interactive Pen, or Marker Pen), the computer, and a video presentation projector. The projector is connected to the computer so it can project the image of the computer desktop onto the Interwrite Board surface. The electronic Interwrite Pen can then be used to run applications (Mouse Mode) and to make annotations (Annotation Mode) on the projected desktop image on the Interwrite Board.

Your Interwrite Board must be calibrated if you are going to be using the Interwrite system in Interactive Mode. After the hardware—computer, Interwrite Board, electronic Interwrite Pen, and video projector—has been set up and communication between the Interwrite Board and the computer has been established, calibration is the final step in the Getting Started process before you can actually use the Interwrite system. Calibration ensures that the electronic ink is properly aligned on the projected image with the Pen tip on the Interwrite Board’s surface.

An Interwrite Board Features Menu, like the one shown here, appears on each side of the Interwrite Board. It offers a variety of Interwrite options, including the Calibration tool discussed here, that can be easily accessed no matter which side of the Interwrite Board you are positioned at.

Getting Started with Interwrite Workspace

The purpose of this document is to give you a feel for the Interwrite system by showing you how to select and use a tool in Interactive Mode. The Annotation Tools of Interactive Mode consist of freehand tools, text tools and drawing tools. Of the freehand tools, the Pen tool is the most frequently used Interwrite Workspace Tool. The following pages describe how to select and configure the Pen tool.

The Interwrite system is at the heart of a successful interactive collaboration, whether it is in a classroom of fourth graders studying world geography, or in a boardroom of corporate executives brainstorming a new product launch. All the tools you will need to stimulate inspiration, connection and participation can be found in the Interwrite Workspace software. Here’s a quick look at the Workspace basics to get you started.

Workspace Modes

Interwrite Workspace is run in one of three operational modes, Interactive Mode, Office Mode (Windows only), or Whiteboard Mode.

Workspace Tools have been categorized as Annotation Tools, Editing Tools, Page Tools, Presentation Tools, Multimedia Tools, Navigation Tools, File Management Tools, and Setup Tools. The Interwrite Workspace Help file describes all these tools in detail and can be accessed from the Device Manager Menu.

Whiteboard

Whiteboard Mode, available only when using an Interwrite Board with Workspace , allows you to capture and preserve notes, drawings, calculations—whatever you write on the Interwrite Board with an Interwrite Marker Pen.

Office

Office Mode makes it possible to interact directly with the native files of the Microsoft Office suite of products, PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

Interactive

Interactive Mode allows you to open and run applications while in Mouse Mode, using the tip of your electronic Interwrite Pen on the Interwrite Panel

screen to move the cursor. In Annotation Mode, you use the Interwrite Pen to select Interwrite Workspace Tools from the Toolbar.

Getting Started InterwriteTM Board

Begin an Interwrite Workspace Session

Presentation Files

The presentation file is made up of your annotated pages. The Page Creation and Capture tools are used to create the pages in the presentation file and the Annotation Tools are used to create the annotations. The presentation file is automatically saved as a .GWB file.

As soon as Interwrite Workspace goes into Annotation Mode, an untitled presentation file is created. Unless you give the file a name, it is automatically saved using today’s date as the filename. (Multiple files created today have 01, 02, 03, etc., appended to the date name.)

An existing presentation file can be opened, its pages can be sorted, annotations can be added to the existing pages, and new pages can be added to the file. Your presentation will determine how each presentation file evolves. For example, you can prepare a presentation file of blank maps ahead of time for a geography lesson. Or, you can capture and annotate each of the monthly earnings spreadsheets as you review the past fiscal year during a budget meeting. Or, you can run a PowerPoint Slide Show in Office Mode (Windows only) and annotations can be added to each slide and saved in the native file.

Building the Presentation File

You can build your presentation file during your presentation, or you can pre-build it, including the screen captures, images, graphs and text pages you want to present. However you choose to do it, the process is the same. To capture a screen or window, click on the Mouse Mode tool with your Interactive Pen and arrange the desktop for capture. Select an Annotation Tool, the Pen, for example, indicate your capture preference (by clicking on either the Partial, Window, or Screen option in the dialog), and annotate the captured image. Use the Page Creation Tools to add a blank, gridded, or background image page. By default, Interwrite Workspace is in Autosave mode, so your annotated pages are automatically saved as you build your presentation file. Click on the Save tool to save the file using the default filename (today’s date), or a name you type on the pop-up Onscreen Keyboard.

Getting Started InterwriteTM Board

Distributing Presentation Files

The Interwrite Workspace presentation files you create can be printed for local distribution, or emailed to anyone, anywhere.

Use the Page Sorter tool to review the presentation file. The pages in the presentation file can be sorted, moved, duplicated, merged, and deleted using the Page Sorter tool. When the file pages have been arranged to your satisfaction, you can use Page Sorter’s export option to export it to one of a number of file formats, or you can close Page Sorter and select an option from the Workspace File Menu.

The native file format of saved presentation files has the .GWB extension. GWB files can be read on any computer on which Interwrite Workspace is installed. For general distribution, we recommend exporting the presentation file to the PDF format using the Export PDF File tool located in the Toolbox, or by selecting the the Export PDF File option from the Workspace File Menu.

Now everyone can stay in the information loop, whether they were able to attend the presentation or not.

What is PRS?

Interwrite PRS is an Audience Response System—a comprehensive response system for electronically testing, polling, and surveying a group of people. It can be used in conjunction with Interwrite Workspace to take a survey of the audience response to the presentation, or to test the level of comprehension after a lesson presentation, for example. Learn more about PRS by visiting our Web site.

InterwriteTM Board Getting Started

Whiteboard Mode

Whiteboard Mode allows you to capture notes, drawings, calculations— whatever you write on your Interwrite Board with an Interwrite Marker Pen—for distribution. Whiteboard Mode requires only a computer, your Interwrite Board, and one or more Interwrite Marker Pens. When you select Whiteboard Mode, a blank white screen, representing the Interwrite Board, appears on your computer monitor. As you write on the Interwrite Board with one of the uncapped Interwrite Marker Pens, whatever you write appears on the computer screen in the color of the Marker Pen. Whenever you change Pens, the new pen color is displayed on the computer screen.

The process for capturing what you have written on the Interwrite Board is quite simple. Using a capped Marker Pen, click on the Whiteboard Mode icon on one of the Interwrite Board Features Menus to initiate Whiteboard Mode. Uncap each Marker Pen as you use it on the Interwrite Board surface, being sure to recap it snugly to keep it from drying out when you switch to another Marker Pen. When you have finished one screen’s-worth, click the capped pen on the Save icon. Then, click twice on the Clear icon. The electronic image of the Interwrite Board on your computer will be blank. Erase the dry-erase ink from the Interwrite Board surface, and you are ready to continue on a new page in the presentation file. Unless you give the file a name, it is saved using today’s date as the name.

You can use the Page Sorter tool, described on the previous page, to prepare the presentation files created in Whiteboard Mode for distribution.

Interwrite Accessories

BTCOM2 Communications Kit

The BTCOM2 Communications Kit outfits your Interwrite system for Bluetooth® wireless communication. The BTCOM2 Module is connected to your Interwrite Board and the Bluetooth USB Adapter is installed on your computer. The Bluetooth module is built into the Interwrite Pads. Wireless communication between your Interwrite Devices and your computer gives you more flexibility in setting up your classroom when the Interwrite Board and computer do not have to be cabled together.

The InterwriteTM Pad

Interwrite Pads add another dimension to your Interwrite interactive experience. They can be used from anywhere in the room, allowing students to participate in the presentation and instructors to control the presentation. All the interactive functions you can perform at the Interwrite Board can be done using an Interwrite Pad.

InterwriteTM Board Getting Started

The Rechargeable Interactive Pen and Pen Charging Station

The optional Pen Charging Station is designed to attach to the frame of the Interwrite Board just above the controller housing, so it can plug into the Power Connector on the top of the controller. It can also be hung on the wall, using the Wall Mount Hangers shown below.

Your Pen Charging Station can be ordered with a Power Cord if you don’t want to connect it to the Interwrite Board and have it powered by the board’s power supply.

When the Pen Charging Station is plugged into either the wall socket or the Interwrite Board (which must be powered on), snap each of your rechargeable Interactive Pens into a slot to charge them. It’s a good idea to keep the Pens in the Charger when they are not being used. It’s the ideal place to store them, and you don’t have to worry about overcharging them. They will not charge beyond their capacity.

Installing the Pen Charging Station

1 Unscrew the Thumb Screws and

position the Pen Charging Station on the Interwrite Board frame.

2 Tighten the Thumb Screws to lock the

Pen Charging Station into place.

3 Plug the Power Plug into the Power

Connector on the top of the board’s Controller.

Wall Mount Hangers

Thumb Screws

Power Plug

When the Pen Charging Station is plugged into the Interwrite Board, it will have power as long as the Interwrite Board is powered by the power supply.

Positioning the Pens in the Pen Charging Station

1 Each Pen snaps into one of the charging slots.

2 Position the Pen so that the Pen Tether Loop is

pointing out, away from the charging slot.

3 The LED Light below each slot turns on when

the Pen is positioned in the slot. The light stays on while the Pen is charging and turns off when the Pen is fully charged. Periodically, the Pen will slowly draw current to maintain a full charge. This is known as trickle charging and, when the Pen is trickle charging, the light remains off. The rechargeable Interactive Pen will not over-charge.

Charger LED Lights

Getting Started InterwriteTM Board

Using the Rechargeable Interactive Pen

The rechargeable Interactive Pen is used to write and draw in Interactive Mode and functions as a mouse. It requires no assembly. You can attach a tether to the Pen, if desired. We recommend placing the rechargeable Interactive Pen in one of the Pen Slots on the Pen Charging Station when it is not being used. The photo below identifies the parts of the rechargeable Interactive Pen and describes their function.

The Pen Tip is used to apply virtual ink to the page in the Annotation Window. To use the Pen Tip as an eraser on-the-fly, without selecting the Eraser tool, hold down the left mouse button and touch the pen to the Interwrite Board’s surface. On the Mac, with the Pen Tip on the board’s surface, press the left button and hold it while erasing.

Assembling the Interwrite Marker Pen

The electronic Interwrite Marker Pen can be used in both Interactive Mode and Whiteboard Mode. It is used uncapped in Whiteboard Mode to apply dry-erase ink on the Interwrite Board. Whatever you write or draw with the uncapped Marker Pen is mirrored on the computer screen. The capped Marker Pen is used in Interactive Mode to apply virtual ink, in the same way the Interactive Pen does. The small felt eraser on the end of the Marker Pen will erase both the real dry-erase ink and virtual ink. Replacement erasers and Pen Caps are included in the Accessory Kit.

The two buttons on the Interwrite Marker Pen function in Windows as left double-click and right-click mouse buttons, and on the Mac as left double-click and Ctrl-click mouse buttons. The capped Pen Tip acts as a left-click mouse button when Interwrite Workspace is in Mouse Mode.

In both Windows and on the Mac, the left mouse button on the Marker Pen has the same chorded function, described on the previous page, as the Interactive Pens have when Interwrite Workspace is in Annotation Mode. It will erase the virtual ink on the projected image on-the-fly without having to select the Eraser tool.

The Interwrite Marker Pen goes into Sleep Mode after 10 seconds of inactivity. The LED will flash continuously when the battery needs to be replaced.

Keep the Marker capped as much as possible to prevent it from drying out. The Pen Cap enables the Marker Pen to be used in Interactive Mode to annotate a projected image on the Interwrite Board without actually applying real ink to the board.

The Interwrite Interactive Pen

The Interwrite Interactive Pen is used exclusively in Interactive Mode. Its buttons and Pen Tip work the same as those on the rechargeable Interactive Pen and the Marker Pen. Following are the instructions for installing or replacing the battery.

1 Push in the clip on the battery cover to remove it.

2 Insert the supplied AAA battery into the battery compartment,

positioning it properly for the correct polarity. As soon as the battery makes a connection, the LED will flash four times, indicating the pen is active.

Installing the Mounting Clips on the Whiteboard and Wall

The two Mounting Clips, found in the Accessory Kit that shipped with your Interwrite Board, can be used in conjunction with a wall mount installation of the board. They fasten the bottom of the Interwrite Board to the wall to prevent it from being jostled loose from the Wall Mounting Bracket. Install the Mounting Clips after the Interwrite Board is hung from the Wall Mounting Bracket. The hardware for attaching the Mounting Clips to the wall is not included, as the type of wall on which they will be mounted varies from installation to installation.

If you are using a ceiling mount projector, be sure the Interwrite Board is aligned to the projector image Mounting Clips to avoid having to reposition the board.

Dazu entweder die Laufrollen arretieren, den Ständer gegen eine Wand rollen oder einen Fuß auf den Ständer stellen, damit das Interwrite Board beim Verstellen der Höhe nicht wegrollen kann.
