SMART Table and SMART
Sync Software
About SMART Sync
With SMART Sync software, you can manage your classroom, and communicate with
and assist your students without leaving your computer.
Using SMART Sync software, you can monitor and control your students’ computers
using the Thumbnails view, which displays real-time images of students’ desktops. In
addition to viewing the thumbnails, you can capture snapshots of a student’s screen,
take control of a student’s desktop, place a temporary lock on your students’
computers, remotely shut down your students’ computers, block Internet access,
block the use of specific applications and broadcast your desktop.
You can also use SMART Sync software to send files to your students, and more.
Refer to the SMART Sync 2009 User’s Guide (document 131740
) provided with your
SMART Sync software for more information.
Using SMART Sync Software with Your
SMART Table
The computer inside your SMART Table includes SMART Sync Student software and
a Wi-Fi wireless network interface card. Using a wireless networking hub, you can set
up a network allowing your SMART Sync Teacher computer to access the table’s
SMART Sync Student software. You can monitor multiple SMART Tables from a
single SMART Teacher computer.
NOTE
SMART does not provide antivirus or network security software with your SMART
Table. When you start your SMART Table, the computer automatically logs in as
an administrator with User Account Controls disabled. Incoming network ports are
blocked; however, outgoing communication such as web browsing is still possible.
If you’re allowing Internet access to the SMART Table, contact your network
administrator.
