Collaboration through Application File Sharing

iPower's PC platform allows for more traditional method of collaboration through the use
of network drives and commands. Since the iPower system will most likely be resident
within a conference room or office, it is logical to connect it to the company LAN to
access company network resources. Commonly used network file transfer commands,
such as FTP and mapped network drives are another method used for collaboration. The
file needed for the meeting discussion is placed on the iPower PC, its drive is mapped or
the file is sent to a PC that would act as a content host for the meeting call. This method
of collaboration is most successful with out a firewall security system in place.

iPower Embedded collaboration tools

The iPower application leverages the open PC
environment and provides access to embedded
collaboration tools that allow users to edit content
on an interactive basis. These tools can be found
from the iPower application menu as shown in this
graphic. These tools are used when the participants
need to make real time changes to the presented
data. These changes can be stored and updated to
the iPower PC or to a LAN server on the network.

T.120 application devices (interactive whiteboards)

Interactive Whiteboards can also be used as a collaboration tool with the iPower systems.
An interactive whiteboard replaces an existing conference room whiteboard and allows
the realtime capture of any handwriting and meeting points written on the whiteboard to a
PC. An electronic whiteboard transforms an existing conference room whiteboard into
an interactive whiteboard for capturing interactive meeting discussion.
The iPower application embedded T.120 tools can receive and render from any T.120
based interactive whiteboard. That means if a meeting participant writes on a whiteboard
connected to the iPower system, all remote participants can view that information and can
use their own iPower connected whiteboard to proactively interact with the realtime
discussion displayed on each whiteboard.
