36 | CONNECTING YOUR INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO YOUR COMPUTER
Before setting up the wireless Bluetooth connection,
• Remove all versions of SMART Board software, SMART Notebook software or
SMART product drivers installed on your computer, and then install the version of
SMART product drivers included with the wireless Bluetooth connection kit, even
if it’s the same version. Reinstalling this software ensures that you enable all of its
necessary features. If you don’t know how to remove software, ask your system
administrator. See page 29 for details on installing SMART product drivers.
• Ensure that your computer can communicate with your interactive whiteboard
using a wired USB connection by connecting the included USB cable as
described on page 27. This step enables you to check that SMART product
drivers and the installed firmware version support the wireless Bluetooth
connection kit.
• Verify that you have controller firmware 2.0.6.0 or later installed on your
interactive whiteboard, as described in the following procedure.
To verify the
firmware version
1. If SMART Board Tools isn’t already running, select select Start > All Programs >
SMART Technologies > SMART product drivers > SMART Board Tools.
2. Click the SMART Board icon in the Windows notification area or Mac Dock,
and then select Control Panel.
The SMART Notebook control panel opens.
3. Click SMART Board Settings.
4. If you have more than one interactive whiteboard connected, select the icon
for the correct product.
The Hardware Info & Settings window opens, displaying a summary of the
hardware, software and firmware installed on your interactive whiteboard.
5. If the firmware version displayed is earlier than 2.0.6.0, navigate to
C:\Program Files\SMART Technologies\SMART product drivers\Firmware.
6. Locate and double-click the latest SB-W.X.Y.Z Flash.exe file, where W.X.Y.Z
represents the firmware version number, to open the SMART Firmware
Upgrade Wizard.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the file.
When your computer and interactive whiteboard are communicating by means of
the USB interface using the latest software and firmware, you’re ready to set up
the wireless Bluetooth connection kit.
8. Disconnect the USB cable from your computer and interactive whiteboard.
