Appendix C

Managing SMARTBoard MX (V3, V2 and V2-C) series displays using RS-232

smarttech.com/kb/171555 96

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 RemoteManagement.

Configuring the serial interface settings

Configure the computer or control system’s serial interface before sending commands to the display.

1. Turn on the display.

2. If you’re using a terminal application on a computer, activate local echo to see what you’re typing and

sending to the display.

3. Configure the serial interface settings with the following values:

Baud rate 19200

Data length 8

Parity bit None

Stop bit 1

4. Send a carriage return character (<CR>) to the display. The display will show a command prompt (>) to

indicate that the display can now accept commands.

NOTE

If you’re using a terminal application on a computer, pressing ENTER should send a carriage

return character (<CR>) but may also send a line feed character (<LF>), depending on your

terminal application configuration.

If no message appears or an error message appears, the serial interface isn’t configured

correctly. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
