4. If you know the COM port to which the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is connected, you
can type it or select it from the COM port list. Then click the Select button.

If you're unsure of the correct COM port, click the Detect SMART Hardware button to initiate
hardware detection. SMART board software searchers your COM ports for the presence of an
attached interactive whiteboard.
The interactive whiteboard is now touch sensitive. You can write over any projected application
with a pen tray stylus.
To orient the interactive whiteboard
Click the SMART Board icon and select Orient, and then follow the on-screen instructions. You
can also access this feature by clicking the Orient button on the Boards tab of the SMART Board
Control Panel.
To change the orientation precision
1. Click the SMART Board icon and select Control Panel.
The SMART Board Control Panel dialog box appears.
2. On the Boards tab, click the Advanced button.
For Mac OS X computers, the Edit Advanced Settings dialog box appears.
For Mac OS 9.x computers or earlier, the Pick the Orientation Precision dialog box appears after
you click the Orient button. Proceed to step 4.
For Windows operating systems, select Board Settings from the shortcut menu that appears.
The Edit Advanced Board Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the Pick the Orientation Precision tab.
5. Select the Orientation level you prefer.
6. Click the Apply button, and then OK (or Next for Mac OS 9.x computers or earlier).
7. Click the Orient button.
8. Follow the on-screen instructions. Press on each cross that appears with your finger or stylus
at a 90° angle to the screen.
IMPORTANT: Keep your finger straight as it approaches the screen. Press it firmly on each
cross, and keep it straight as you pull it away from the screen.
9. Test the orientation by dragging your finger across the screen. The cursor should track your
finger very closely and appear directly beneath the center of your fingertip.
Calibrating the Cameras (DViT Technology)
With DViT technology, the cameras located in the corners of the interactive whiteboard frame
detect contact with the screen. For the screen to function properly, the cameras must be precisely
calibrated so that the computer can provide an accurate and appropriate response to screen
contact.
You should re-calibrate the cameras (and orient the screen) if areas of your screen control have
inaccurate, erratic or absent touch control, or if the electronic ink that appears when you write on
the screen is jagged, broken or doesn't appear at all.
To calibrate the cameras and orient the screen, access the Advanced settings of the SMART
Board Control Panel on a computer running the Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP or Windows NT
operating system, as described in the following procedure.
