Resolving issues with managing the display using RS-232 84
You can connect an RS-232 cable from a computer'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 cu 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 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 Android™, and iOS operating systems. For more information, see SMART Remote Management.
Configuring the computer's serial interface settings
Configure the computer's serial interface before sending commands to the display.
To configure the computer's serial interface
- Turn on the display.
- Turn on the computer, and then start the serial communications program or terminal emulation program.
- Activate local echo.
- Configure the serial interface settings using the following values, and then press ENTER.
Baud rate 19200
Data length 8
Parity bit None
Stop bit 1
A command prompt (>) appears on the following line, and the display can now accept command the computer.
NOTE
If no message appears or an error message appears, the serial interface isn't configured corre Repeat steps 3 and 4.
Commands and responses
To access display information or to adjust display settings using the room control system, type con after the command prompt (>) and wait for the response from the display.
CORRECT
>get volume
volume=55
>
In the example below, the user used = -50 instead of -50.
INCORRECT
>set volume=-50
invalid cmd: setvolume=-50
>
NOTES
- Use ASCII formatted commands.
- Commands aren't case-sensitive and extra spacing is ignored.
- In many terminal applications on a computer, you can use the BACKSPACE key when typing commands.
- Review each entry carefully before sending a command to the display.
- Don't send another command until you receive the response and the next command prompt (>command prompt is present, send a carriage return character (
) to the display. If the disp ready to receive commands, it will show a command prompt after receiving the carriage return
To retrieve a setting's current value
Use a get command.
This example shows how to get the volume:
>get volume
volume=55
>
Appendix C
Managing the SMART Board 6000S (V3) display using RS-232
To assign a value to a setting
Use a set command.
This example sets the volume to 65:
>set volume=65
volume=65
>
To increase or decrease the value of a setting
Use the set command to increase or decrease the value by a designated number.
This example increases the volume by 5:
>set volume+5
volume=70
>
This example decreases the volume by 15:
>set volume-15

You can connect an RS-232 cable from a computer'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 cu 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 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 Android ^™ , and iOS operating systems. For more information, see SMART Remote Management.
Connecting multiple displays
You can connect up to ten displays to a room control system by connecting a RS-232 cable from computer's serial output to the first display's RS-232 in connector and then connecting another RS-23 cable from that display's RS-232 out connector to the next display's RS-232 in connector.
NOTES
- The leftmost display (when viewed from the front) is the first display in the chain, the display right of that display is the second display in the chain, and so on.

- When you connect displays in this manner, they behave as a single unit (see Mounting multiple displays on page 29).
- With the exception of the get input, set input, and get fwver, all remote management commands apply to all connected displays.
Configuring the computer's serial interface settings
Configure the computer's serial interface before sending commands to the display.
To configure the computer's serial interface
- Turn on the display.
- Turn on the computer, and then start the serial communications program or terminal emulation program.
- Activate local echo.
- Configure the serial interface settings using the following values, and then press ENTER.
Baud rate 19200
Data length 8
Parity bit None
Stop bit 1
A command prompt (>) appears on the following line, and the display can now accept command the computer.
NOTE
If no message appears or an error message appears, the serial interface isn't configured correct. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
Commands and responses
To access display information or to adjust display settings using the room control system, type con after the command prompt (>) and wait for the response from the display.
CORRECT
>get volume
volume=55
>
In the example below, the user used = -50 instead of -50.
INCORRECT
>set volume=-50
invalid cmd: setvolume=-50
>
NOTES
- Use ASCII formatted commands.
- Commands aren't case-sensitive and extra spacing is ignored.
- In many terminal applications on a computer, you can use the BACKSPACE key when typing commands.
- Review each entry carefully before sending a command to the display.
- Don't send another command until you receive the response and the next command prompt (>command prompt is present, send a carriage return character (
) to the display. If the disp ready to receive commands, it will show a command prompt after receiving the carriage return
To retrieve a setting's current value
Use a get command.
This example shows how to get the volume:
>get volume
volume=55
>
To assign a value to a setting
Use a set command.
This example sets the volume to 65:
>set volume=65
volume=65
>
To increase or decrease the value of a setting
Use the set command to increase or decrease the value by a designated number.
This example increases the volume by 5:
>set volume+5
volume=70
>
This example decreases the volume by 15:
>set volume-15
volume=55
>
To identify or assign a value for a specific display
Start the command with [Display],@, where [Display] is the display you want to apply the command to.
This example sets the input for the first display in the chain to HDMI 2:
>A,@ set input=hdmi2
@,A input=hdmi2
>
NOTES
The first display in the chain is labeled A, the next display is labeled B, and so on.
- You can identify a specific display for only the get input, set input and get fwversion commands.
