Connecting a SMART Board display with iQ to a network

Install network certificates to help ensure safety and security of your network. Certificates must be installed manually for each individual user account’s keystore, as Android complies with industry standard security practices to keep certificates secured. Once the certificate for the user account for your board is installed, it remains in effect and does not need to be installed again unless you perform a factory reset.

If you are having issues installing the certificate, try the following:

• If the certificate is not installing correctly, try converting the certificate to .cer, .crt, or .pfx format.

• Make sure you’re installing the correct certificate for connecting to a network or content filtering.

To learn how to deploy certificates using SMART Remote Management, see Managing settings.

To install network certificates

1. Copy the certificate to a USB drive.

2. Insert the USB drive into the iQ appliance.

3. From the Home screen, tap Settings.

4. Scroll to Security, and then tap Install Certificates.

5. Select a certificate to install:

   • Select CA certificate for website access filtering, such as Content Keeper.

   • Select VPN & app user certificate for cloud-based filtering, such as Securly or ZScaler.

   • Select Wi-Fi certificate to authenticate a device connected to a wireless network. This can be completed during the wireless network setup.

6. Tap Menu.

7. Find and select the certificate to install.

8. If required, enter a password to extract the certificate.

9. If required, enter a name for the certificate in the Certificate name box and tap Ok.

   A window may appear requesting that a lock screen PIN, pattern, or password be set before using the certificate. If this window does not appear, the certificate has been installed successfully and there are no further actions.

10. Tap Set Lock.

11. Select a swipe, pattern, PIN, or password method.

12. Follow on-screen instructions to complete securing lock screen.

13. Select a pattern, PIN, or password method. Tap OK.

    Important 

    Make note of the pattern, PIN, or password. The pattern, PIN, or password may be required to install future certificates.

    If the pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, a factory reset is required before installing more certificates.

1. From the Home screen, tap Settings.

2. Tap Wi-Fi.

3. Tap and hold the network to which you’re adding a proxy.

   A dialog box appears.

4. Tap Modify network.

5. Select Show advanced options.

6. In the Proxy box, select Manual.

7. Enter the information in the Proxy hostname, Proxy port and Bypass proxy boxes.

8. Tap Save.

When you connect your device or computer to the display using screen share, the screen sharing protocol compresses the image from your device or computer. The protocol may transmit only areas of the screen that change. This can make it difficult to estimate the impact of screen share on a network where many users would like to screen share simultaneously.

For example, if 30 people are using screen share simultaneously, 10% of them might be streaming video while 90% might be sharing static content with occasional updates. In such an instance, you could expect to see an additional 5 Mbps in network traffic. Use the following table to help estimate the impact of wireless screen sharing on your network.
