Managing the display using RS‑232

You can connect an RS-232 cable from a computer or a control system’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 current 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 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.
