Appendix 9 Managing your display using RS-232
smarttech.com/kb/171861 91
You can connect an RS-232 cable from a computer or a control system’s serial output to the display’s
RS-232in connector to remotely select video inputs, turn the display on or off, and get information about
the display’s current settings, such as volume and power state.
Important
Use only a standard RS-232 cable. Do not use a null modem cable. Null modem cables typically have
ends of the same type.
Tip
SMART also offers SMART RemoteManagement cloud-based device-management software, which
you can use to manage SMARTBoard interactive displays with iQ and devices running Windows,
Chrome
™
OS, Android, and iOS operating systems. For more information, see SMART
