INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

The Interactive Whiteboard is an input peripheral device that, connected to a computer with a video-projector, allows an interactive environment to be created and used for teaching and demos.

The Oliboard whiteboard is furnished with a hard surface to ensure resilience to wear and a protection against acts of vandalism; featuring high tracing precision, rapid response and operational sensitivity it allows intuitive use by even less expert users.

The software provided offers sophisticated functions such as partial magnification, searchlight, replay, camera, customised background, specialized tools (compass, ruler, set square, etc),

With the touch of a finger, or by using the pen provided with Oliboard, it is possible to send command to the computer, as with a mouse, and write, take notes, erase, trace geometrical figures, copy, run and save files.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Wall or stand installation must be carried out by authorised personnel according to the requirements stated in the Olivetti documentation.

The cable for connecting the whiteboard must be connected to the USB port of the computer. The VGA (or HDMI) cable of the video-projector must be connected to the VGA (or HDMI) port of the computer.

WINDOWS SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The Oliboard software provides two types of installation: "Express installation" and "Step-by-step installation".

Express installation is suggested the first time. Step-by-step installation allows the software to be installed one step at a time.

EXPRESS INSTALLATION

Do not connect the cable of the whiteboard to the computer (if the USB cable is already connected to the computer, disconnect it).

1. Insert the Oliboard Software disk.
2. Click on the program logo (this is equivalent to running the "autorun" program).
3. The Installation Guide window opens.
4. Click "Install All" to perform the express installation.
5. Choose the language you want to install and confirm with "Next".
6. Select the complete installation and confirm with "Next". The "custom" installation is suggested to expert users.
7. At the end, a message is displayed asking you the installation of the FTDI or Silicon driver. Clear any default options and confirm with "Finish".
8. Follow the instructions in the paragraph "Running the Software".

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

This type of installation is recommended only when upgrading the software provided with the whiteboard.

REMOVING THE OLIBOARD SOFTWARE

Click on "Start" "Control Panel" "Add or Remove Programs", select "Oliboard" then click on "Add/Remove".

Select the option for removing all the features installed and follow the instructions shown on the screen.

At the end of removal, it is recommended that you restart the computer.

RUNNING THE SOFTWARE

The whiteboard cable must be connected to the USB port of the computer.

To run the software, first of all the software driver of the whiteboard must be started, the orientation operation performed if necessary, after which the whiteboard software can be started.

Starting the Driver of the Interactive Whiteboard

Click "Start" "All programs" "Oliboard Software" and start the Oliboard

Driver. The driver icon appears in the lower right corner of the Status bar on the desktop.

NOTE: If the message "Start device failed", make sure that the cable of the whiteboard is connected correctly between the computer and the whiteboard.

NOTE: After having started the driver, click on the icon of the Oliboard driver to activate or deactivate the autostart parameter, depending on whether or not you want the Oliboard driver to be run automatically the next time the computer is powered on. If the computer is permanently connected to the whiteboard, it is advisable to activate the autostart. On the other hand, if the computer could be disconnected from the whiteboard, it is advisable to deactivate the autostart to avoid an error message appearing the next time the computer is powered on which indicates that no whiteboard is connected.

Orienting the Interactive Whiteboard (Windows 7/8)

This function serves to tune the whiteboard for the image to be projected onto it. Execute the "orientation" the first time you install the Oliboard Driver or if the position of the projector or the Interactive Whiteboard changes, or if the display mode changes (e.g. the image size or resolution).

1. Click "Start" → Control Panel" → "Tablet PC setting".

1. Select the calibration function in the displayed window. A window will be displayed.
2. With the finger or the whiteboard pen, click on the mid-point of the cross "+" on the whiteboard. Repeat this same operation for all the other orientation points, being careful to canter well the mid-point of the flashing cross with the electronic pen.
3. Save orientation.

Starting the Whiteboard Application Software

1. Click "Start" → "All programs" → "Oliboard Software" and start the application program. A Logon window opens in which you can enter the user name and the password.
2. To start the software using the default account, click simply on the "Login" button without entering any data, otherwise you can enter your own personal account. When a personal account is used, the user can customise the tool bar, resources and templates.

NOTE: Before starting the application software, make sure that the Interactive Whiteboard is connected correctly to the computer and that the Interactive Whiteboard driver is running.

NOTE: For how to operate the software, refer to the instructions in the ONLINE HELP selectable from main menu of the Oliboard software.

Setting Up the Oliboard Functions

First time Oliboard software is started, it is suggested to check all the default options, by clicking the Options function in the Tool menu.

As option, it is suggested to set the language for the handwriting recognition option in the "Draw" command.

Creating a Personal Account and Password

1. Click "Start" → "All Programs" → "Oliboard Software" → "User Manager"
2. Key-in the administrator account data to access the software. The default administrator account is Administrator and the Password is olioboard.
3. The User Manager window is displayed.
4. Select "Edit" "New User" to create a personal account.
5. Key-in the user name and password and select "Create".
6. When the process completes, the new user appears in the window.

SCREEN REORDER

Oliboard software includes a recording tool that allows you to record what happens on the screen, including the recording of audio associated with the operations performed and/or what captured via the computer's microphone, if present.

Click "Start" "Allprograms" "Oliboard Software" "ScreenRecorder"

SOFTWARE REGISTRATION

First time Oliboard software runs on a computer not connected to the whiteboard, the registration of the software is requested.

It is possible to immediately execute the procedure, or it is possible to postpone the registration.

When the number of execution without registration is finished, it is necessary to remove the software.

In order to execute the registration process, it is necessary a direct connection to Internet and to insert the activation code (normally included in the CD-ROM).

NOTE: Registration is not requested if whiteboard is connected to the computer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If a message is displayed: "Failed to verify the whiteboard, the program can't run further!", check whether there is a good connection between whiteboard and the computer.

2. Make sure that the special-purpose connection cable of the whiteboard has been used, and that the cable has been connected correctly.

3. Check that the software driver of the whiteboard is running.
4. Check that the software driver of the USB cable has been correctly installed.

5. If this message appears when the computer should not be connected to the whiteboard, make sure that the "autostart" parameter of the Oliboard driver has been deactivated (click on the icon to deactivate the parameter).

6. Only certain parts of whiteboard can be written on. Carry out the procedure for orienting the whiteboard.

7. How to exit from the Oliboard software?

8. Click on the Operation Round Plate in "Control Mode", then on "Exit" in the popup menu.

9. Click "File" (in the main menu), then "Exit".

10. Why is the image projected in the shape of a trapezium? Why must it be adjusted, and how to do so?

It sometimes happens that the projector is not level (for example, because the front is higher than the back, or vice-versa) and consequently the image projected is trapezoidal in shape. For information, refer to the User Manual provided with the projector.

1. What to do when an indelible colour pen has been used to write on the whiteboard?

Never use colour pens to write on the Oliboard! Should this happen, clean the whiteboard lightly using cotton-wool dampened with alcohol.

1. How to clean the panel of the whiteboard?

Clean the panel passing over it lightly with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: After wetting the cloth, you must wring it out to remove any excess water. This is to avoid water penetrating inside the whiteboard.
