CHAPTER 1 WELCOME
Table microphones, speakers and audioprocessor
The table microphones and speakers facilitate audio communication during Bridgit
or other conferencing application meetings. The audio processor eliminates echos
and in-room audio feedback.
Users can temporarily mute the table microphones for privacy purposes.
The table microphones are typically located on the meeting room table, and the
speakers are located on either side of the interactive flat panels.
Optional wall st and kit
The optional wall stand kit includes a wall stand for each interactive flat
panel in your SMARTRoomSystem and the cable raceway. The wall
stands transfer some of the weight from the wall to the floor and are
required for metal stud walls that can’t support the full weight of the
interactive flat panels. The cable raceway covers cables running across
the floor from the interactive flat panels to the meeting room table.

About software

Your SMARTRoomSystem comes with licenses for two software packages:
l SMARTMeetingPro software
l SMARTMeetingPro PE software
Using these software packages, you can write or draw in digital ink on an interactive flat panel,
present content on your desktop and connect to individuals and other meeting rooms using
integrated conferencing software. You typically install SMARTMeetingPro software on the
computers that are connected to the SMARTRoomSystems and SMARTMeetingPro PE software
on users’ laptops.

Connecting and configuring a room control system

Connect a computer to the room control input on the interactive flat panel to remotely select video
inputs, turn on or turn off the interactive flat panel and request information such as contrast, power
state and current settings.

Connecting a computer to an interactive flat panel

To connect a computer t o the interactive flat panels
1. Connect an RS-232 cable from the serial output on the computer to the room control input on
the bottom connector panel of the first interactive flat panel.
SBID 8070i-G4 SBID 8084i-G4
IMPORTANT
Do not use a null modem cable. Use only a standard RS-232 cable.
2. Connect an RS-232 cable from the room control output of the first interactive flat panel to the
room control input of the second interactive flat panel.
3. Connect an RS-232 cable from the room control output of the second interactive flat panel to
the room control input of the third interactive flat panel.
NOTE
Up to three interactive flat panels can be connected.

Configuring the computer’s serial interface settings

You need to configure the computer’s serial interface before sending commands.
80 sma rttech.com/kb/170764
Page 87
APPENDIX B REMOTELY MANAGING YOUR SMARTROOMSYSTEM
To configure the comput er’s serial int erface
1. Turn on the interactive flat panels.
2. Turn on the computer, and then start the serial communications program or terminal emulation
program.
3. Activate local echo.
4. Configure the serial interface settings using the following values, and then press ENTER.
Baud rate 19200
Data length 8
Parity bit None
Stop bit 1
A command prompt (>) appears on the following line.
NOTE
If no message appears or an error message appears, the serial interface configuration isn’t
correct. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. Type commands to configure the interactive flat panels.

Power modes

An interactive flat panel has five distinct power modes:
l On
l Power Save
l Standby
l ECO Standby
l Off
All commands are available when the interactive flat panel is on. Some commands are available
when the interactive flat panel is in Standby mode. No commands are available when the
interactive flat panel is off or in ECO Standby mode.

Room control system programming commands and responses

To access interactive flat panel information or to adjust interactive flat panel settings using the
room control system, type commands after the command prompt (>), and then wait for the
response from the interactive flat panel.
CORR ECT
>get contrast
contrast=55
If you type a command that the room control system doesn’t recognize, you receive an invalid
command response.
In the example below the user included a space in the contrast command.
INCORR ECT
>set con trast=65
invalid cmd=set con trast=65
NOTES
l Use ASCII formatted commands.
l Commands aren’t case-sensitive.
l Review each entry carefully before you press ENTER.
l Don’t send another command until you receive the response and the next command
prompt.

Command inventory

The interactive flat panel responds to the commands in the tables on the following pages. To see a
list of valid commands for the interactive flat panel’s current power state, type ?, and then press
ENTER.
Identifying current values
You can identify the current value for each setting. In the example below, the user wants to identify
the contrast level for the interactive flat panel.
>get contrast
contrast=55
82 smarttech.com/kb/170764
Page 89
APPENDIX B REMOTELY MANAGING YOUR SMARTROOMSYSTEM
Assigning a specific value
You can assign a specific value for a setting within the command’s target range. In the example
below, the user wants to set the contrast level for the interactive flat panel to 65.
>set contrast=65
contrast=65
Increasing a value for a settin g
You can increase a setting by a designated number. In the example below, the user wants to
increase the contrast level for the interactive flat panel by 5.
>set contrast +5
contrast=70
Decreasing a value for a sett ing
You can decrease a setting by a designated number. In the example below, the user wants to
decrease the contrast level for the interactive flat panel by 15.
>set contrast -15
contrast=55

Designating video control settings for a specific video input

When you connect multiple video inputs to the interactive flat panel, you can designate different
settings for each video input. You can also specify which video input you want to get information
about or assign values to.
NOTE
You must connect the video input to the interactive flat panel to identify or assign a value for it,
but the video input doesn’t need to be in use.
Identifying t he value for a video cont rol setting
Use the get command to identify values for a video control setting. In the example below, the user
wants to identify the contrast for the HDMI1 video input.
>get contrast HDMI1
contrast HDMI1=65
