NOTE: Before selecting „Multiple monitor mode” you must configure your MS Windows

display parameters. The configuration is described in chapter 5.4.2.

Fig. 7. Dialog box - choice of a display mode.

FUN BILLBOARD system can work in either of the following modes:

 Multiple monitor mode (recommended)

 Single monitor mode

In either mode the system can work with or without the GSM terminal, however its

functionality without the GSM terminal is very limited because the system cannot send

and receive text messages.

5.4.2. Launching the system in the multiple monitor mode

In order to launch the system in the multiple monitor mode make sure that your external

display (or displays) is connected to the computer via VGA/SVGA port. Optionally, DVI-I

or S-Video ports also can be used to connect the displays. Please note that the video

quality of S-Video connection may not be good enough.

To enable a multi-monitor configuration using the Windows Display applet:

1. Right-click on the MS Windows desktop and select Properties or

Select Start Settings Control Panel Display.

2. Go to “Settings” tab in your “Display Properties” window and click on Monitor 2

(blue rectangle with number 2 on it).

3. Set the screen resolution for the 2

display/monitor to 1024x768 pixels.

4. Check the box “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor”.

5. From the “Color quality” menu choose the highest settings for monitor 2 and ensure

that the screen resolution still remains 1024 x 768.

6. Click on “Identify” button on the bottom of the “Display Properties” window to make

sure that both displays/monitors (1 and 2) are configured correctly. A big number

“1” should appear on display/monitor 1 for a few seconds and than a big number “2”
