About the Firmware
This chapter introduces the latest version of firmware for the Unifi 35 projector. This version
includes several enhancements that bring the SMART Board™ 600i interactive whiteboard
system’s feature set in line with that of the new SMART Hub SE240.
• Whiteboard (this page)
• Bridgit Conferencing Software (this page)
• Computer and Video Source Inputs (this page)
• Configuration (page 2)
• Version Comparison (page 3)
Whiteboard
Whiteboard (formerly ScratchPad interactive whiteboarding application) captures notes and
drawings in digital ink on your 600i interactive whiteboard system without a computer.
Use Whiteboard for brainstorming, note taking and other activities for which you want to use your
interactive whiteboard system’s digital ink tools without connecting to a computer.
In addition to saving Whiteboard files to a USB storage device, you can also send them in e-mail
messages.
Bridgit Conferencing Software
If you have access to a Bridgit software server, you can use the collaboration features included in
the latest version of the firmware to collaborate with others through conferences.
Bridgit conferencing software allows you to create conferences or join conferences. While in a
conference, you can:
• share your display
• view other participants’ displays
• communicate with others through chat
• use other features of the firmware, including Whiteboard and computer and video source
connections to present information or otherwise participate in the conference
Computer and Video Source Inputs
Like previous versions of the firmware, the latest version allows you to connect computers and
video sources, such as DVD players and VCRs, to your 600i interactive whiteboard system and
view their outputs on the projected images. You can then write digital ink notes, temporar ily free ze
the display, and take screen captures to include in Whiteboard files.
In addition, the latest version of the firmware introduces support for LinQ software. LinQ software
allows you to view output from computers on the same subnet as the 600i interactive whiteboard
system without having to connect those computers directly. Connect the LinQ software client
computers to the subnet wirelessly or through a network cable.
About the Firmware 1
Configuration
The latest version of the firmware enhances the Unifi 35 Settings dialog box to include basic
networking, SMTP and SNMP configuration settings, the ability to export configuration settings
from one 600i interactive whiteboard system and then import them to other 600i interactive
whiteboard systems, and the ability to password protect configuration settings.
In addition, the latest version includes the following configuration settings:
• display and other basic firmware settings
• projector settings
• RS-232 room control support

Configuring the Firmware
This chapter explains how to configure the firmware after the update. It includes information on
connecting the SMART Board 600i interactive whiteboard system to computers, video sources and
a network.
• Orienting Your SMART Board 600i Interactive Whiteboard System (this page)
• Configuring Multiple SMART Board 600i Interactive Whiteboard Systems (page 11)

• Configuring Unifi 35 Projector Settings (page 39)
Orienting Your SMART Board 600i Interactive Whiteboard System
When your 600i interactive whiteboard system uses its default orientation data, the touch point on
the screen corresponds to the projected image, provided the projected image fills the entire
interactive screen. However, the projected touch point might be offset from the actual touch point
in some situations. Resolve this problem by orienting the interactive whiteboard.
Complete a 9-point orientation using the firmware. The orientation data saves to your
SMART Board interactive whiteboard’s flash memory. Therefore, the orientation data remains the
same when you connect different computers and video sources to the 600i interactive whiteboard
system.
If a computer with Notebook™ software is connected to the Unifi 35 projector or Extended
Connection Panel, you can complete a 4-, 9-, 12- or 20-point orient ation using Notebo ok software.
If you complete such an orientation, the orientation data saves to the computer rather than your
SMART Board interactive whiteboard’s flash memory. Therefore, the orientation data changes
when you connect different computers and video sources.
Configuring the Firmware 9
To orient your SMART Board 600i interactive whiteboard system using the
firmware
1. Press Menu, and then press Orient.
OR
Press both pen tray buttons simultaneously.
2. Press Orient.

Configuring Room Control Settings
You can control the Unifi 35 projector externally with a computer or room control system using a
TELNET session established over a TCP/IP network connection or through a serial (RS-232)
connection. This allows you to select inputs, control audio volume, request inform ation such as
projector lamp usage or network settings and complete other tasks.
This section describes how to configure the firmware for extern al control using a computer or room
control system, and the commands you use to change and view the projector settings.
Enabling and Using Room Control Settings through the Serial Interface
To enable and use the firmware’s room control settings:
1. Connect the computer or room control system to the 600i interactive white board system.
2. Enable the firmware’s room control mode.
3. Configure the connected computer or room control system’s serial interface.
4. Program your room control system to use the firmware’s room con trol commands.
