InterwriteTM Board
Overview
The InterwriteTM Board is central to the Interactive Classroom. These durable
electronic whiteboards feature Interwrite Learning’s patented electromag-
netic technology. Used alone, or in combination with InterwriteTM Pads, your
Interwrite Board will provide the most effective means of facilitating and
stimulating a successful interactive, collaborative environment, whether in
the classroom, in the meeting room, or reaching out to participants around
the world.
You will see in this Getting Started guide how versatile your Interwrite Board
installation can be, accommodating every type of presentation environment.
Every step of the setup and installation process for each possible configuration
is described in these pages. In addition, a variety of accessories are described.
Some of the Interwrite Board accessories, such as an electronic pen, are
required, others are optional. In any case, we will show how they can be used
to uniquely tailor your interactive environment to your requirements.
Once set up, your Interwrite Board must be able to communicate with your
computer, either by means of a cable connection (serial or USB), or wirelessly,
using the BluetoothTM Comm Kit. The Interwrite Workspace software
manages the communication link with your Interwrite Board, controls its
operation, and provides a robust set of tools to achieve the interactive
experience.
You will use Interwrite Workspace software tools to establish communica-
tion with your Interwrite Board and to calibrate it. Calibration ensures that
the cursor on the projected image is properly aligned with the tip of the
electronic Interwrite Pen on the whiteboard’s surface.
The Interwrite software lets you operate your Interwrite Board in one of two
primary operational modes: Whiteboard Mode and Interactive Mode.
Whiteboard Mode makes it possible for you to easily capture the notes,
drawings and calculations on your Interwrite Board for print and/or elec-
tronic distribution. The only equipment you need to run the Whiteboard
Mode is your Interwrite Board, one or more electronic Interwrite Marker
Pens, and your computer.
6InterwriteTM Board Getting Started
Interactive Mode allows you to take advantage of the full power and
features of the Interwrite system. Running Interactive Mode requires your
Interwrite Board, an Interactive Pen or one or more Marker Pens, a
computer, and a video presentation projector. The video projector is
connected to the computer so it can project the image of the computer
desktop onto the Interwrite Board’s surface. Once connected, your
Interwrite Board communicates as an input device to the computer.

Getting Started InterwriteTM Board
If you are going to connect your Interwrite Board using a cable, only one
cable, either Serial or USB, can be used. If you are going wireless, neither
cable should be used.
If your Power Supply shipped with a set of adapters, the instructions for
fitting the correct adapter on the plug are described on page 17. If you are
connecting your Interwrite Board using a USB cable, the Power Supply is
not needed. However, the Power Supply is required if you are using a serial
connection, attaching the BTCOM2 Module to the board for wireless
communication, or connecting the Interactive Pen Charging Station to the
board’s controller.
The Cable Guides are used to manage and guide dangling cables.
The optional Mounting Clips will be used only when you are mounting
your Interwrite Board on the wall. Their installation is described in the
Accessories section on page 42.
The Pen Tray is an optional accessory. If you are planning to mount your
Interwrite Board on the wall and you purchased a Pen Tray, it should be
installed on your Interwrite Board before it is mounted on the wall. Instruc-
tions for attaching the Pen Tray can be found on page 43.
Your Interwrite Board ships with one Wall Mounting Bracket. The board’s
frame is designed to hang from the Mounting Bracket installed on the wall.
Installation Overview
This section describes what you will be doing and the order in which you will
be doing it, to facilitate the installation of your Interwrite Board and its prepara-
tion for use.
1. Unpack Your Interwrite Board
Open the shipping box and remove the Accessory Box. Leave the Interwrite
Board in the box until you are ready to mount it.
In the Accessories section of this guide, you will see that a variety of Interwrite
Board accessories are available to help you create the interactive environment
that best suits your requirements. Following is a basic list of the Interwrite
accessories likely to be included with your Interwrite Board:

8InterwriteTM Board Getting Started
You will need an electronic Interwrite Pen to use with your Interwrite
Board. You can choose from among the Interactive Pen, the Marker Pen
and the rechargeable Interactive Pen, described beginning on page 39.
The optional Interwrite Interactive Pen Charging Station (page 38) is
designed to attach easily to the Interwrite Board frame. Nevertheless, it can
be mounted instead on the wall, although it should be close enough to the
Interwrite Board’s controller so it can be plugged into the Power Connector
on the top of the controller housing. (The Pen Charging Station can be
plugged directly into a wall socket or power strip. The power cable with a
standard power plug for such an installation is sold separately.) If you are
mounting your Interwrite Board on the wall, you should attach the Pen
Charging Station to the Interwrite Board before you mount it.
The Interwrite Learning CD contains the Interwrite Workspace software for
both a Windows installation and a Mac installation. Interwrite Workspace
must be installed on your computer before you can complete the installation
of your Interwrite Board.
2. Mount Your Interwrite Board
Will this be a wall mount, or a floor stand mount? If you are mounting your
Interwrite Board on a floor stand, you need to assemble the floor stand first.
The instructions for assembling your floor stand are included in the floor stand
shipping box. In addition, instructions for assembling your floor stand can be
found on page 44 in this guide.
The type of mount will also determine which Mounting Brackets, if any, you
will attach to the back of the Interwrite Board. For a floor stand mount, two
Mounting Brackets are attached to the back of the Interwrite Board with
supplied Phillips screws. These Mounting Brackets ship with the floor stand.
For a wall mount, the Interwrite Board requires only one Mounting Bracket,
which is attached to the wall. The frame of the Interwrite Board is designed to
overlap the Mounting Bracket on the wall. The hardware for attaching the
Mounting Bracket to the wall is not included. You will supply the hardware
that is appropriate to the type of wall on which the Interwrite Board is being
mounted.
WALL MOUNT
If you purchased a Pen Tray and/or an Interactive Pen Charging Station,
install them before you hang the Interwrite Board on the Wall Mounting
Bracket. If you plan to use the optional Mounting Clips (page 42) to stabilize
your wall-mounted board, install them after you have mounted your Inter-
write Board on the wall.

Getting Started InterwriteTM Board
FLOOR STAND MOUNT
After you assemble the floor stand, attach the two Mounting Brackets to the
back of the Interwrite Board using the Phillips screws provided. It requires
two people, one at each end of the Interwrite Board, to mount it on the
floor stand. It is attached using the Knob Screws provided. You can attach
the Pen Tray and/or Pen Charging Station after the Interwrite Board is
mounted on the floor stand.
3. Install the Interwrite Workspace Software
4. Connect Your Interwrite Board
Your Interwrite Board must be able to communicate with the Interwrite
Workspace software on your computer. This communication link is estab-
lished either by means of a physical cable (USB or serial) connection, or
wirelessly between two Bluetooth communication modules—one connected
to the Interwrite Board and one connected to the computer. The computer
will automatically find an Interwrite Board that is connected to it by a cable,
but the wireless Bluetooth Modules must be “connected” by the Interwrite
Device Manager, one of the Interwrite Workspace software applications.
5. Connect the Video Projector
In order to run Interwrite Workspace in Interactive Mode, a video projector
must be connected to the computer.
6. Prepare the Electronic Interwrite Pens and
Install the Pen Charging Station
The Interwrite Marker Pen must be assembled and a battery installed before
use. A battery is installed in the Interactive Pen. The optional Pen Charging
Station is installed on the Interwrite Board and the rechargeable Interactive
Pens must be charged before they can be used. Instructions for attaching the
Pen Charging Station to the Interwrite Board are on page 38. Instructions for
assembling the Marker Pen and the Interactive Pen are on pages 40 and 41.
7. Calibrate Your Interwrite Board
Your Interwrite Board needs to be calibrated to ensure that the tip of the
electronic Interwrite Pen is aligned with the cursor on the projected image.
Any time the Interwrite Board or video projector is moved, the Interwrite
Board must be re-calibrated.
