Connecting Multiple Displays - SMART Board 6000S Series Installation And Maintenance Manual

Appendix D Managing SMART Board 6000S (C) or 6000S series displays using RS-232
Important
Use only a standard RS-232 cable. Do not use a null modem cable. Null modem cables typically have
ends of the same type.
Tip
SMART also offers SMART Remote Management cloud-based device-management software, which
you can use to manage SMART Board interactive displays with iQ and devices running Windows,
™
Chrome OS, Android
Remote Management.

Connecting multiple displays

You can connect up to ten displays to a room control system by connecting a RS-232 cable from the
computer's serial output to the first display's RS-232 in connector and then connecting another RS-232
cable from that display's RS-232 out connector to the next display's RS-232 in connector.
Notes
The leftmost display (when viewed from the front) is the first display in the chain, the display to the
l
right of that display is the second display in the chain, and so on.
When you connect displays in this manner, they behave as a single unit (see Mounting multiple
l
displays on page 26).
With the exception of the get input, set input, and get fwver, all remote management
l
commands apply to all connected displays.
