Printed in Canada 05/2003 Important Information WARNING When you receive your Sympodium™ IM-150 integration module, the backlight setting is 70% of maximum. This configuration compensates for degradation and extends the longevity of the backlight and other heat-sensitive components. This setting is particularly important if you’re operating the IM-150 in an environment where operating temperatures reach or exceed 95°F (35°C). If you operate the IM-150 in such an environment, any alteration of the backlight to a setting configuration beyond 70% will void your Limited Equipment Warranty (see paragraph (iii) of Warranty Exclusions in the warranty). The IM-150 requires adequate ventilation when installed in an enclosure. Do not install the IM-150 in an enclosure without 9 sq. in. (58.1 cm2) of surface area set aside for ventilation. WARNING As the screen is extremely sensitive to liquids, don’t apply glass cleaner or any organic solvent such as alcohol or even mild detergent. Use of these cleaners can damage the screen’s finish or seep into the electronics, and will void your warranty coverage. See the Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide for more detailed cleaning information. Do not immerse the stylus in any liquid. WARNING If the screen is damaged, DO NOT touch any liquid that may leak from it. This liquid is an irritant. If it makes contact with your skin, eyes or mouth, rinse the area immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if this liquid makes contact with your eyes or mouth. WARNING Do not use the IM-150 in a facility control system that requires extremely high reliability; the IM-150 may cause other electronic devices to malfunction, or other devices may cause the console to malfunction. Where use is prohibited, power off the console to prevent this possibility. SMART Technologies Inc. does not accept any liability for direct or consequential damages. For details, refer to the warranty shipped with the IM-150. Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide i Other Precautions For operating safety and proper installation, read this guide carefully and observe the following precautions. The IM-150 Components • The digitizer inside the screen won’t work if you place it in the vicinity of a large magnetic field. For this reason, keep speakers and power transformers away from the screen. • Do not place sharp or heavy objects on the IM-150 – especially on the screen. These objects may scratch the screen’s surface or block the ventilation holes. Do not use any instrument other than the tethered stylus on the screen. Other instruments may damage the screen’s coating. • Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cable while the Sympodium IM-150 console is on. Doing so may damage the liquid crystal display (LCD) and the computer video card. • Use the IM-150 with a VGA or DVI graphics card. An inappropriate graphics card may damage the screen. • Do not exceed a horizontal refresh rate of 75 Hz for input devices. This can cause the screen to overheat. • The X-Port™ 30 unit can support only one control panel at a time. If you connect two panels, the system will malfunction. The Stylus • The stylus is a sealed unit. There aren’t any user-repairable parts inside the stylus, nor are there any batteries. If you attempt to open the stylus, you may break the seal and render the stylus unusable. • With use, the stylus wears down. Do not use a stylus that has worn down to a sharp or angular tip, as it may damage the screen. See the Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide for information on changing the stylus tip. • Prevent children from playing with the stylus because they may accidentally remove the small tip, which can be a choking hazard The Environment ii • Avoid setting up and using the IM-150 in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity and cigarette smoke, where it’s exposed to direct sunlight, severe temperature changes, heat from other appliances, water or any other liquid • Do not modify the power cords. Handle them carefully and avoid excessive bending. You should route the power cords in an area where they’re unlikely to be stepped on, or pinched by items placed on or against them. If you must run a cable over the floor, lay it in a flat, straight line and secure it to the floor with tape or a cable management strip of contrasting color. • The IM-150 comes with two three-prong, grounding-type power plugs. These plugs will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. If you’re unable to insert either plug into an outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet. Do not circumvent the plug’s safety restriction. • Place the IM-150 in a location where end users have clear and direct access to the main power plugs, as they must be able to unplug either component at all times. Always disconnect a component before performing any installation or maintenance. Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide • Disconnect the power to the components during an electrical storm, or if they won’t be used over a long period of time • Avoid subjecting the components to intensive shock or vibration. You may damage any component if you hit or drop it. • If you or the service technician needs replacement parts, use ones specified by SMART Technologies Inc., or parts approved by SMART that have the same characteristics as the originals Verifying the Package Contents When you unpack your Sympodium IM-150 integration module, verify the contents with this list: • one console, covered with the screen installation template and the template for remotely locating the control panel • one X-Port 30 unit • accessory kits, which contain: • the SMART Board™ software CD-ROM, this guide, the Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide, the SMART Board User’s Guide, a warranty page and any other addendum for the IM-150 • in the X-Port 30 unit’s mounting accessory bag: two mounting brackets, one power supply and a country-specific power cable, one control panel cover plate, one grounding wire with ring-terminal ends, and one I2C cable for remotely locating the control panel • 3 32 • one tilt stand • four M3 Phillips® screws for mounting the tilt stand • in the console mounting accessory bag: two console mounting brackets, one DVI/RGB cable, one RS-232 serial cable, a power supply and a country-specific power cable • in the mounting screw bag: four No. 8-32 x ¼" hex socket screws and one 3/32" ball-end hex key • replacement stylus tips and an o-ring tool for the stylus / " ball-end hex key, four No. 8-32 x ¼" hex socket screws, and four rubber feet You should pass along several of the items in the accessory kits to the end user.

The module consists of two main components: the console and the X-Port 30 unit When you integrate these components with your input sources (computers or video display devices), you provide dynamic and interactive tools for presenters, speakers and teachers. Moreover, the Sympodium IM-150 integration module provides a powerful interactive writing surface that allows presenters to control and annotate over any computer application while standing at the console, facing their audience. Presenters can interact with up to three input sources, which can include their own laptop computer or other video devices. A simple press of a button makes the image output of the active source display on the interactive screen and up to two other connected video displays, such as a projector and an external monitor. The IM-150 also sends the audio signal to any connected room sound system. This guide describes the functions of the console and the X-Port 30 unit, and how to integrate these components with other systems. While some sections briefly discusses how to use the two components, refer to the Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide for more detailed instructions on using the IM-150. The Console The Sympodium IM-150 console includes the following: • interactive screen – a 15" (38.1 cm) liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses an electromagnetic digitizer • stylus – a tethered electromagnetic stylus that controls the LCD panel • pen tool buttons – for users to select stylus behavior with a simple button press • connectivity ports – serial, video and power ports are on the back of the console Pen Tool Buttons Indicators Power Button On-Screen Display Control Buttons Interactive Screen Electromagnetic Stylus Stylus Tether You can easily integrate the console into many varieties of desk, table or lectern-type furniture. The display source for the screen depends on the user’s selection on the X-Port 30 unit control panel. When a source button is pressed, the X-Port 30 unit sends RS-232 serial data and RGBHV video signals from one of three connected input sources to the screen. Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 1 The Interactive Screen The screen is a display device with a native resolution of 1024 x 768. Integrated into the screen is an electromagnetic digitizer, which makes the screen interactive. However, this digitizer won’t function if placed in the vicinity of a large magnetic field. For this reason, keep speakers and power transformers away from the screen. Stylus and Pen Tool Buttons You can use the pen tool buttons to control the behavior of the stylus. These buttons illuminate when active, with the exception of the Keyboard button. This is because you can have the Keyboard open and still change the stylus behavior, so you don’t need a visual indication for the Keyboard button. The pen tool buttons include: • Left-Click (the default tool) • Right-Click • Eraser • Black, Blue, Red and Green electronic ink • Keyboard The interactive screen only responds to stylus contact with the screen. At the contact point, the electronics in the stylus generate X,Y coordinates. These coordinates and information on the selected pen tool are sent to the X-Port 30 unit through a standard straight-through 6' (1.8m) RS-232 serial cable (DB9M/F). NOTE: The connected computer must be running SMART Board software to interpret the stylus coordinates as mouse activity. While the integration module comes with the most recently released version of SMART Board software, you can also use SMART Board driver 7.0 or greater (Microsoft® Windows® operating systems) or SMART Board driver 6.0.2 or greater (Macintosh computers) to operate the IM-150. Connectivity Ports The console has three ports: a female RS-232 port, a female RGBHV video port and a power port. The serial port on the console uses an RS-232 cable with standard 9-pin connectors. For a detailed diagram of the port, including cable pin assignments and other RS-232-related connection information, see page 45. NOTE: If you don’t connect the console directly to the X-Port 30 unit, connect it to an RS-232 device that supports modem controls. 2 Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide The video port is an RGBHV input port into which you insert the DVI connector of the supplied custom DVI/RGB cable. The standard HD DB15 female end of this cable connects to the X-Port 30 unit. While the interactive screen supports DVI signals, only use the analog interface with the console. The interactive screen uses a single 18V DC power supply, which comes with the unit. Along with the power supply, you receive an appropriate country-specific power cable to connect to an outlet. Once you connect the power, 18V DC power flows from the pen tool selector board inside the console to the interactive screen. The AC or MAINS input is designed for both 120V AC and 220V AC operation. Nevertheless, the IM-150 is an auto-switching unit; no user intervention is required. The X-Port 30 Unit The X-Port 30 unit controls the switching of RGB video, RS-232 serial and audio signals. The user selects a device by pressing a source selection button on the control panel. After the button press, all three signals are switched simultaneously. Connection Panel Control Panel Back View Front View You can connect up to three input devices to the connection panel on the X-Port 30 unit. While one input connection is generally a main computer, the other two can be any combination of the following: • laptop computer • document camera • VCR • DVD player NOTE: If the output of your video source isn’t RGB, you’ll need a video scaler. Use the connection panel on the X-Port 30 unit to integrate the IM-150 with other room systems, such as a projector or a room-control system. Although they are not included with the Sympodium IM-150 integration module, the X-Port 30 unit supports many input and output devices, including: • power amplifier and speakers or a room audio system • computer (main or laptop) • document camera, VCR or DVD player (may also need a video scaler) • projector Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 3 The X-Port 30 unit switches RGB video, RS-232 serial and audio signals using a three-level switch. On the control panel, there are three buttons for selecting an input source. When the user presses a button, three circuit-switching actions take place: • the RGB video signal from the selected input source is sent to the video output ports on the X-Port 30 unit • RS-232 data from the console is sent to the serial port for the selected device on the X-Port 30 unit • the audio signal from the selected input source is sent to the balanced and unbalanced audio outputs on the X-Port 30 unit In most cases, a permanently installed computer uses the input ports labeled 1. The X-Port 30 unit control panel specifies that your laptop computer uses the input ports labeled 2 and your auxiliary input source uses the input ports labeled 3. While your integration can vary from these guidelines, be aware that the control panel labels may then create confusion for the end user. Laptop Computer Label X-Port 30 Computer Label Auxiliary Input Source Label For precise instructions on handling composite and S-video sources, see page 27. NOTE: All devices connect to the labeled ports on the connection panel of the X-Port 30 unit. Each circuit board in the X-Port 30 unit has its own labeling structure, so keep the devices separate. For example, if your computer uses serial port 2, ensure its video and audio connections are to the ports labeled 2. 4 Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide System Requirements The connection panel on the X-Port 30 unit uses serial connections. However, if the computer you’re connecting has a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, you can easily connect one of the SMART USB adapters (USB-ADP or the longer USB-FRU with a DB9 M/M gender adapter). To order a SMART USB adapter, contact your dealer. NOTES: • USB connectivity isn’t supported by the Windows NT® 4.0 operating system, or by the Windows 95 version (unless you install service release 2.1 or 2.5 in the Windows 95 operating system). • SMART has a wireless serial connection available. Purchase the WC2 Serial Adapter if a wireless connection works better in your integration. Of course, you’ll still have to connect the video cable. • The Sympodium IM-150 integration module doesn’t currently support the UNIX® operating system-compatible SMART Board software. Windows Operating System • 486DX 66 MHz or higher processor (Intel® Pentium® processor recommended) • 16 MB of memory required (24 MB of memory recommended) • Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, 2000, Win2000 Professional, ME, XP or Windows NT® 4.0 (SP-4) operating system • 50 MB of free hard-disk space for complete installation • available serial or USB port (If you use the computer’s USB port, you should purchase one of the SMART USB adapters – USB-ADP or USB-FRU – to connect the X-Port 30 unit.) Macintosh Computers • Power Mac computer • 32 MB of RAM required • Mac OS 8.6 – 9.x, or Mac OS X operating system software • 10 MB of free hard-disk space for complete installation • available serial or USB port (If you use the computer’s USB port, you should purchase one of the SMART USB adapters – USB-ADP or USB-FRU – to connect the X-Port 30 unit.) Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 5 Locating the Serial Numbers The serial number for the IM-150 is made up of the serial numbers of each component. When you register your product, use the full serial number, which you’ll find on the original packaging of the unit, as well as on each component. This serial number has a prefix of SSIM. On the console, you’ll see the serial number for the IM-150 as well as the serial number for the interactive screen component (using the prefix SSIC). On the X-Port 30 unit, you’ll see the serial number for the IM-150 along with the serial number for the X-Port 30 unit (using the prefix XPT). Serial Number Label Location of the Console’s Serial Number Label Serial Number Label Location of the X-Port 30 Unit’s Serial Number Label 6 Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide Connection Information You connect input and output devices to the connection panel on the X-Port 30 unit of the Sympodium IM-150 integration module. For example, you could connect a computer and a projector. NOTE: The IM-150 accepts and transmits video in RGB format, using HD DB15 connectors. To connect to an S-video or composite input device, you'll need to integrate a video scaler. As well, to connect an S-video or composite output device, you’ll need to incorporate a scan converter into your integration. Keep the input ports consistent when you’re connecting input devices. For example, use the input ports labeled: • 1 for a permanently installed computer • 2 for a laptop computer • 3 for a video device, such as a document camera with an RGB output For output devices, the X-Port 30 unit transmits the same video and audio signals to every connected device using 1x3 electronic switches. See page 47 for a diagram of the overall interconnection of the console and the X-Port 30 unit. This section of the installation guide describes the connections between the interactive screen and the X-Port 30 unit and how to extend the cables, the video input signals needed, and what types of cable you should use to integrate the IM-150 with other devices. Console Connections The Sympodium IM-150 console has three connection ports: two are for the X-Port 30 unit connection panel and the other is for the wall power outlet. The necessary cables are supplied, including a video cable and an RS-232 DB9M/F serial cable for connecting the console to the X-Port 30 unit. RGB Video The Sympodium IM-150 module comes with a customized 6' (1.8 m) cable. During the installation process, you’ll connect the DVI-I end of the DVI/VGA cable into the female DVI/VGA port on the console. Then, you’ll insert the male HD DB15 connector into the X-Port 30 unit. If you need to extend this video cable, use a 75-ohm coaxial extension RGB cable. The total length shouldn’t exceed 50' (15 m). NOTE: While the screen can support DVI video signals, the X-Port 30 unit supports only analog signals. Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 7 RS-232 Data A supplied 6' (1.8 m) RS-232 serial cable (DB9F/DB9M) connects the console’s pen tool selector board to the X-Port 30 unit. You’ll find the console’s RS-232 port on the underside of the console. If you want to place the X-Port 30 unit and the console farther apart than the supplied cable allows, use an RS-232 serial-extension cable to connect them. However, the total cable length should not exceed 50' (15 m). Power Supply The console’s power supply connects to the AC or MAINS input on the console’s underside, which connects internally to the pen tool selector board port. The power supply connects to the wall outlet using a supplied 20' (6 m) power cable. This 18V DC power supply, which is smaller than that of the X-Port 30 unit, has an LED indicator that glows green when it detects AC power input. Input Source Signal Information Different input devices, such as document cameras, VCRs and DVD players, may produce different types of signals, including: TAKE NOTE • RGB or RGBHV (using HD DB15 connectors) NOTE: For the purposes of this manual, RGB and RGBHV are considered the same. • composite (using RCA connectors) • S-video (using mini-DIN4 connectors) • component (using RCA or BNC connectors) The X-Port 30 unit only accepts an RGBHV video signal, which is an RGB signal that also contains horizontal and vertical information. If your input source transmits a video signal other than RGBHV, you’ll need to scale the signal to an RGB format using a video scaler. Most VCRs and DVD players don’t produce RGBHV video signals. Video scalers generate a number of different output formats. Some scalers convert the signal to RGB with horizontal (H) and vertical (V) scan rates that match the input rate exactly. Other scalers have selectable output resolutions. Determine the type of signal output the scaler has available, and then select the signal that delivers the best quality. For video images, component output produces a better image than S-video, which in turn produces a better image than composite video. However, keep in mind that you can only connect HD DB15 connectors to the X-Port 30 unit. NOTE: While document cameras usually have S-video outputs, some models may also have RGBHV (HD DB15) interfaces. You can connect those devices directly to the X-Port 30 unit, so you won’t need a scaler in your integration. When you select a scaler to use with your integration, make sure the output resolution is compatible with both the interactive screen and any connected external projectors. NOTE: The maximum signal frequency for the horizontal refresh rate is 75 Hz. Exceeding that frequency may damage the screen, or the image won’t display as expected. 8 Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide X-Port 30 Unit Cable Specifications and Recommendations The Sympodium IM-150 module comes with: • a 6' (1.8 m) RGB video cable, with DVI-I/RGB connector for the Sympodium IM-150 console and HD DB15M connector for the X-Port 30 unit • a 6' (1.8 m) DB9F/DB9M RS-232 serial cable • an 18V DC power supply for the Sympodium IM-150 console • a 12V DC power supply for the X-Port 30 unit However, to integrate the Sympodium IM-150 module, and specifically the X-Port 30 unit, with the other equipment in your room, you’ll need to supply additional cabling. For your integration to work correctly, use high-quality cables, which allow for optimum performance. The following pages provide specific cabling recommendations to assist with your integration. RGB Video Cables More than any other computer peripheral, the video display needs the best shielded cables you can provide. Fluorescent lights and power cords can cause interference and loss of color and resolution. Without a well-shielded, high-quality cable, you’ll compromise the visual quality displayed on the screen. For example, triple-shielded RGB cables have individual RGB color signal conductors that are coaxially shielded. Outer foil and braided shielding encase all the wires in the cable to ensure that a monitor with a 50' (15 m) video cable will still receive a high-quality signal. You can extend the DVI-I/RGB cable with a high-quality HD DB15 (M/F) video cable extension, although the total cable length shouldn't exceed 50' (15 m). Use a cable with goldplated copper contacts for maximum conductivity. These cables are designed to support highspeed, high-resolution imaging. Any RGB cables you use should have these specifications: • 3 or 5 coaxial conductors (3 for RGB, plus 2 for H and V, if applicable) • nominal impedance: 75 ohms • nominal capacitance: 17.3 picofarads/ft. • nominal velocity of propagation: 78% • nominal attenuation: • nominal shield DC resistance: 8.6 ohms/1000 ft. • nominal conductor DC resistance: 41.5 ohms/1000 ft. • structural return loss: 25 dB minimum from 10 MHz to 40 MHz • less than 50' (15 m) in length 2.2 MHz 5 MHz 10 MHz 30 MHz 50 MHz 100 MHz 0.8 db/100 ft. 1.3 db/100 ft. 1.8 db/100 ft. 3.1 db/100 ft. 3.9 db/100 ft. 5.4 db/100 ft. NOTE: The cables don’t need to support monitor bits because the X-Port 30 unit doesn’t pass these signals. Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 9 Serial Cables You should use serial cables that have these specifications: • less than 50' (15 m) in length • shunt capacitance of 16 picofarads/ft. NOTE: The total shunt capacitance shouldn’t exceed 2,500 picofarads. Audio Cables You can integrate your audio system with the IM-150 using cables with RCA Phono, XLR (for balanced signals) or 3.5 mm audio connectors. For audio cables with RCA Phono connectors, you should use cables that have these specifications: • flexible, shielded cable with a low-capacitance insulator and a stranded center conductor • separate shielded cable for left and right channels • copper braid shield with a minimum of 75% coverage • 24 AWG stranded wire conductors • length of less than 6' (1.8 m) For balanced audio cables, you should use cables that have these specifications: • 2-conductor, shielded, twisted-pair cables with drain wire • minimum wire shield of 90% Grounding Information The X-Port 30 unit has a ground connector, which you should use to improve the audio output quality for ungrounded peripherals that are connected to the X-Port 30 unit, such as laptop computers. However, you don’t need to use the ground connector if at least one connected device, such as the main computer, is grounded. If you remove the control panel and reinstall it at another location, you’ll need to ground the X-Port 30 unit. See page 20 for details on connecting the supplied ground wire. NOTE: This ground is not a safety ground. You don’t have to connect the ground connector to earth ground for safe operation of the Sympodium IM-150 module. Location for Ground 10 Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide Environmental Considerations Setting the Screen Viewing Angle Determine the placement of the interactive screen in your integration. Depending on the room’s lighting conditions, you may want to angle the screen. This angle can be +/-80° from the horizontal. Also, install the console so its height can accommodate users of different statures. Placing the Keyboard and Mouse You must locate the computer’s keyboard and mouse near the console. This is because the stylus won’t function when you initially connect the Sympodium IM-150 console. You must install and open SMART Board software, so you’ll need a connected keyboard and mouse to operate the screen until the stylus is operational. Also, if your computer moves into standby mode, you must use the keyboard or mouse to reactivate it. Ventilation Good ventilation will keep the Sympodium IM-150 integration module from overheating. Because of this, it’s especially important that the console have adequate ventilation while the screen is operating since it generates a fair amount of heat when powered. To maintain a consistent operating temperature, don't block or cover any ventilation holes. NOTE: The ventilation holes are located at the back of the console and on the top cover of the X-Port 30 unit. Other external factors affect the Sympodium IM-150 integration module, such as the heat generated by television lighting or the airflow in the room. If there is inadequate airflow, install a fan. We recommend using a DC brushless fan to increase air circulation in an enclosure. NOTE: If you use an AC-voltage fan, keep the power wire away from all other cables, and ensure the fan you use is a low-noise model. Install both the console and the X-Port 30 unit in a cool, dry location, without excessive levels of dust, humidity and cigarette smoke. Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 11 Installing the Components This section describes how to install: • the Sympodium IM-150 console • the X-Port 30 unit • a remotely located control panel Installing the Sympodium IM-150 Console You can install the Sympodium IM-150 console in any material. However, it has an estimated bearing surface of 18 sq. in. (116.1 cm2) and an estimated weight of 15 lb. (6.8 kg), so ensure your mounting surface can support a console of that weight and size. NOTE: SMART Technologies Inc. doesn’t supply security fasteners. If your integration requires them, you must obtain the appropriate ones.

You’ll find more detailed information in the Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide and in the SMART Board User’s Guide. Using the Console When the connected computer is running SMART Board software, you can use the tethered stylus to control any computer application. However, the annotation tools don’t work with the auxiliary source. To start the console 1 Ensure the source (main computer, laptop computer or auxiliary device) is turned on, properly connected and, if the source is a computer, has SMART Board software open. If necessary, press the correct source selection button on the control panel. 2 Press the screen’s Power button. NOTE: If you lose power to the console, the screen turns itself off. After the power is restored, press the Power button. If you lose serial communications or if you close the SMART Board driver program, the screen will lose its interactive capability. For any other difficulties, use the Troubleshooting section on pages 37 to 39 to isolate the module causing the problem. When the Communications indicator glows solid green, the console is ready to use. To use the stylus 1 Pick up the tethered stylus. 2 With your finger, press a pen tool button. If you don’t select a button, the default action is a left-click (Windows or Mac OS X operating systems) or click (Macintosh computers). Right-click – For the next stylus contact with the screen to be a right-click (Windows or Mac OS X operating systems only), press the Right-Click button. You can reconfigure this button using the SMART Board Control Panel. NOTE: After contact with the screen, subsequent stylus touches revert to left-clicks. Eraser – For an eraser that removes electronic ink wherever you make stylus contact, press the Eraser button. The cursor then changes to an eraser icon. Press the stylus on the screen to delete the electronic ink in that location. Colored Ink – For colored electronic ink, press one of the four Colored Ink buttons and write on the screen with the stylus. Keyboard – For access to a virtual keyboard, press the Keyboard button. Use the stylus to press the virtual letter keys. In the Windows operating system, you can also press the Write button on the keyboard to use the handwriting recognition feature. NOTE: A pen tool button will illuminate when it’s active, with the exception of the Keyboard button. This is because you can have the virtual keyboard open and still change the stylus behavior. Left-Click Right-Click Eraser Colored Ink Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide Keyboard 43 To power off the console 1 Press the Power button. 2 Power off the input sources (optional). NOTE: If your computer goes into standby or sleep mode, use either the mouse or the keyboard to wake up the system. Touching the screen has no effect. The communication button and a source indicator remain illuminated. Using the Control Panel The control panel has green LED indicators that show the source of the video, serial and audio signals being received by the console via the X-Port 30 unit. X-Port 30 Source Indicators Computer Laptop Auxiliary Input Source Press a control panel source-selection button to switch the video, data and audio source. NOTE: If a control panel indicator begins flashing, a communication problem may have arisen in one or more of the modules. Check your cable connections. If this doesn’t solve the problem, contact Technical Support. See page 40 for contact information. 44 Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide Appendix C: Functional Diagrams Pin Assignments for the Console’s RS-232 Serial Port Usually, the console connects directly to the X-Port 30 unit. However, if your integration is different, you must ensure that the console connects to an RS-232 device that supports modem controls, using an RS-232 serial cable with standard 9-pin connectors.

For the console to function, the following conditions must be met: • RTS line (pin 8) must connect to the computer CTS line (pin 8) • CTS line (pin 7) must connect to the computer RTS line (pin 7) • Transmit Data line (pin 2) must connect to the computer Receive Data line (pin 2) • Receive Data line (pin 3) must connect to computer Transmit Data line (pin 3) • DTR line (pin 6) (not labeled above) must connect to the computer DSR line (pin 6) • DSR line (pin 4) must connect to the computer DTR line (pin 4) As shown above, the DTR line from the computer loops back to the DSR line via an internal connection to pin 6 of the console RS-232 port. The computer applies a negative voltage with respect to ground to the DTR line, which is then also applied to the console DSR line. This signal causes the console to commence communications with the computer. During operation of the port, the display transitions the RTS line in adherence to the Windows operating system plug-and-play standard. Sympodium IM–150 Installation Guide 45 Pin Assignments for RJ11-6 (RJ12) Connectors A custom I2C cable connects the control panel to the X-Port 30 unit. It is a straight-through, four-wire, modular cable that uses RJ11-6 (RJ12) connectors with identical pin assignments. NOTE: This is a custom cable, not a standard telephone cable.
