SMART Technologies WC602 Manuel D’Utilisation

CONNECTING YOUR INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO YOUR COMPUTER

Connecting Using the Optional RS-232 
Serial Expansion Module

IMPORTANT
This option isn’t available for Dual Touch SMART Board SBD600 series 
interactive whiteboards.

The optional RS-232 serial expansion module provides an alternative method of 
connecting your interactive whiteboard to your computer if a USB connection isn’t 
available. This module also uses its own external power supply to provide power 
to your interactive whiteboard.

Use a standard straight-through DB9 male-to-female RS-232 cable to connect 
the RS-232 serial expansion module to your computer.

1. If you haven’t already installed SMART product drivers, insert the included 

SMART product drivers CD in your computer’s CD drive to launch the software 
installation screen, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

The SMART product drivers setup program should start automatically. If it doesn't 
start automatically, select Start > Run, and then type x:\autorun.exe, where x: is 
your CD drive.

NOTE
When you’re asked to add the SMART Board icon to your Startup Folder, 
choose Yes so that SMART Board Tools will always be open, and your 
interactive whiteboard will be fully functional without any further action.

2. If necessary, follow the included installation instructions to install the RS-232 

serial expansion module on your interactive whiteboard.

3. Connect the DB9M plug of the included 

male-to-female serial cable (or a suitable 
substitute) into the 9-pin socket on the 
side of the RS-232 module, located 
behind your interactive whiteboard’s 
lower-right corner.
