Orienting Your SMART Product
When your SMART product 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 issue by orienting your
SMART product.
IMPORTANT
•Before orienting your hub, download the latest version of firmware for your
hub from the SMAR
•Orient your SMART product with your hub before orienting it with other
connected computers.

Configuring your TFTP/SNTP Servers
Your Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server is the repository for your hub’s
firmware and configuration files. Your hub can check the TFTP server to see if any
new files are available, and then download and install any new files accordingly.
To configure your hub, you must enter a domain name or IP address for the TFTP
server, in addition to the port number.
A Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server is used for time configuration.
Through the SNTP service, administrators can also check for updates at specific
times, and define the time they want to update.
IMPORTANT
You must be familiar with basic networking, TFTP and SNTP to complete the
following procedures. If you are not familiar with these concepts, refer this guide
to an information technology professional in your organization.
TFTP Server Configuration
A TFTP server must be set up on a network server. The system administrator decides
which TFTP server to use for the operating system they’re running on their server.
You only need a few requirements to configure your TFTP. Create a folder named
SMART under the TFTP server’s root directory. This is where you can locate the
synchronized SE/VE files.
25 |CHAPTER 2 – CONFIGURING YOUR HUB
Configuration Files
The central configuration file located in the SMART folder holds all of the information
required to synchronize the hubs.
Inside the SMART folder, create a text file and name it Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg for
the SMART Hub SE240, or Hub_VE220_firmware.cfg for the SMART Hub VE220.
Then place the file in the SMART directory located on the TFTP server.
The content in the text files must follow the same file format as the settings
configuration files. Each line must contain a "key=value" pair. Refer to the Configuring SNTP Settings on page 26 for a list of keys and their corresponding values, as all
actions are based on these pairs. To find these pairs, follow these instructions:
•Ignore lines with nothing but white space.
•Ignore lines with # signs in front as they are comments.
Initializing Synchronization
Once you’ve configured your TFTP server settings, you must create a synchronization
event by initiating synchronization, or scheduling an update.
Firmware Updates
You have to configure your firmware updates. To do so, add
_TFTP_APP_NAME=<name of bin file> to the Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg or Hub
VE220_firmware.cfg file.
For example, to update new SE240 firmware to a newer version, put
Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg contents into the SMART folder. This is the TFTP server/
firmware location configuration file. It identifies what version of firmware the hub
should load when it connects to the TFTP server.
IMPORTANT
This file must be named Hub_SE240_firmware.cfg or
Hub_VE220_firmware.cfg.
The next time your hub checks the TFTP server for data, it sees that the TFTP
should be running the version identified by
Hub_SE240_app_v2.4.3.0_09-06-03.bin.
If it isn’t, it downloads the file from the SMART folder on the TFTP server and
reboots after the new firmware installs.
26 |CHAPTER 2 – CONFIGURING YOUR HUB
Updating Your Hub’s Firmware
To update your
hub’s firmware
To update SNTP/TFTP
configurations
Press your hub’s Update Now button.
You can also schedule your hub to perform daily updates at specific times.
Configuring SNTP Settings
As with TFTP, you must set up an SNTP server on a separate computer, and then
configure the hubs to communicate with the SNTP server through a specified domain/
IP computer address and port number.
One you’ve configured the SNTP server, the current time will show the time according
to the SNTP server. Once the hubs’ time is set, the configuration determines when the
TFTP updates will occur.
1. Select System >Settings.
The Settings dialog box appears.
2. If you have a SMART Hub SE240, press Network and Conference.
OR
If you have a SMART Hub VE220, press Network.
3. Press Update (SNTP/TFTP).
4. Type a name for the server in the SNTP server box in the SNTP settings, and then
type 123 in the Port number box.
5. Type a name for the server in the TFTP server box in the TFTP settings, and then
type 69 in the Port number box.
