Connect Your Interwrite Board:
Install the Bluetooth Module
on the Computer
This section of the Interwrite Pad Getting Started guide describes how to
connect the Bluetooth USB Adapter to the computer
establish communication between the Bluetooth modules
using the Interwrite Workspace software.
About Bluetooth and Workspace
The Interwrite Workspace system employs Bluetooth
to establish wireless communication between the Interwrite Boards and
Interwrite Pads and the computer. A Bluetooth Module must be installed
on each component involved in wireless communication. The Bluetooth
BTCOM2 Module is installed on the Interwrite Board. The Bluetooth USB
Adapter shown here is installed on the computer, if necessary. The Inter-
write Pads have the Bluetooth Module built in, so no installation is neces-
sary.
Bluetooth Requirements
If the computer has the Bluetooth Module built in, an external module is not
needed. Most computers with a built-in Bluetooth Module will also have the
Bluetooth driver software installed. Version 6.xx of the Interwrite software
and version 7.0 of the new Interwrite Workspace software support the three
most common Bluetooth stacks (driver software)—Toshiba, WIDCOM and
Microsoft.
Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Windows Vista and Mac OS X
version 10.4 or above have built-in Bluetooth support. If you are
using Windows 98/2000Me/NT, contact Technical Support to
order an installation Kit
.
Bluetooth Communications
The Interwrite Board and Interwrite Pads in an Interwrite wireless system
communicate with the computer through a single Bluetooth Module con-
nected to the computer. Up to seven Bluetooth-enabled Interwrite Devices—
Boards and Pads—can communicate with the Bluetooth Module connected
to the computer. Only one Bluetooth Module, either built-in or external, can
be connected to the computer at a time.
