Make the Connection
The InterWrite system employs Bluetooth
TM
wireless technology to
establish wireless communication between the Whiteboards and
Pads in the InterWrite family of products and the computer. A
Bluetooth device must be installed on each component involved in
the wireless communication. The BTCOM Module is installed on the
Whiteboard. An Ezurio USB Adapter (or dongle, as it’s commonly
referred to) or Ezurio PC Card is installed on the computer. The
Model 400 Pads have the Bluetooth device built in, so no installation
is necessary. This section of the Getting Started guide describes how
to install the Bluetooth software on the PC—it’s already installed on
the Mac—how to install the Ezurio USB Adapter or PC Card on the
computer, and how to establish communication between the
Bluetooth devices using the InterWrite software.
An InterWrite wireless system that includes an InterWrite Whiteboard
and MeetingPads 400 or SchoolPads 400 uses a single Bluetooth
device through which the InterWrite Devices communicate with the
computer. Up to seven Bluetooth-enabled Devices—Pads and
Whiteboards—can communicate with one USB Adapter or PC Card
on the computer. Only one Ezurio Bluetooth device (USB Adapter or
PC Card) should be installed on the computer at any time.
InterWrite Model 100 Pads are the only Pads that have a cable that connects the Pad to the computer. InterWrite Model 300,
310 and 400 Pads are wireless. You can have a mix of wired and wireless InterWrite Pads and Whiteboards communicating
with the computer.
InterWrite 5.0 for Windows and later versions of the InterWrite software require TDK Bluetooth drivers version 1.4.2.10, or
later, in order to operate using Bluetooth wireless communication. Older versions of Bluetooth must be uninstalled before
installing the new drivers. Updated Bluetooth drivers are available on www.gtcocalcomp.com.
