What is TeamBoard?

TeamBoard is an advanced presentation, training and communication tool, effective for use with both immediate and remote audiences. The TeamBoard can be mounted on a wall or on a stand, and also comes in a smaller, portable version.

Used as an electronic whiteboard, TeamBoard enables your computer to capture whatever you write and draw on it. Partnered with a Data Projector, TeamBoard acts as an interactive touchscreen. Its dynamic, interactive capabilities allow you to train, teach and make presentations without ever having to return to your computer. With TeamBoard, present PowerPoint slide shows, annotate during presentations and smoothly and successfully conduct Video and Data conferences.

Use the TeamBoard Draw application to capture all notes and drawings created on the TeamBoard. TeamBoard Draw offers a sharp image with “ink-like” lines as a result of its high resolution controller and advanced line-smoothing features. Users also have a variety of pen widths to choose from. All notes and drawings are automatically backed up by the AutoSave feature at configurable intervals.

TeamBoard’s surface becomes an effective touch-sensitive screen when used with your Data Projector. This interactive touchscreen transforms your fingertip into a mouse, allowing you to touch icons and display changes while maintaining your

audience’s attention on you and the TeamBoard at the same time.

Communicating with TeamBoard is easy. Participants are able to connect to your computer, view your TeamBoard from anywhere a network is available and actively participate in presentations. TeamBoard is designed to interface with T.120 data conference applications like Windows NetMeeting, but can also be used with more traditional video conference equipment (e.g. PolyCom, Tandberg, VTel). Your remote viewers see everything you do, as all of your TeamBoard actions appear on their remote monitors and television screens.

For more information refer to “Understanding TeamBoard’s Capabilities and Features” on page 49.

The TeamBoard Suite of software contains several tools and features to assist and simplify the use of the TeamBoard. These tools and features are explained in more detail in later chapters. The information is divided into the following topics:• Understanding TeamBoard’s Capabilities• Understanding TeamBoard’s Features

Understanding TeamBoard’s Capabilities

This section provides an overview of TeamBoard’s capabilities.

TeamBoard is an advanced presentation, training and communication tool, effective for use with both immediate and


remote audiences. The TeamBoard can be mounted on a wall or on a stand, and also comes in a smaller, portable version.

As an electronic whiteboard, TeamBoard enables your computer to capture whatever you write and draw on it. Partnered with a Data Projector, TeamBoard acts as an interactive touchscreen. Its dynamic, interactive capabilities allow you to train, teach and make presentations without ever having to return to your computer.

Use the TeamBoard Draw application to capture all notes and drawings created on the TeamBoard. TeamBoard Draw offers a sharp image with “ink-like” lines as a result of its high resolution controller and advanced line-smoothing features.

The TeamBoard can also be used without a projector, in Whiteboard mode. Whiteboard mode is used for capturing notes and drawings into the computer. Users also have a variety of pen widths and colors to choose from. Anything you write and draw on the TeamBoard is automatically captured by TeamBoard Draw. This content can be printed, saved, stored as multiple pages and more.

TeamBoard’s surface is an interactive touchscreen with the use of your Data Projector. This interactive touchscreen transforms your fingertip into a mouse, allowing you to touch icons and display changes while maintaining your audience’s attention on you and the TeamBoard at the same time.

You can use TeamBoard to present PowerPoint slide shows, to annotate during presentations and to smoothly and successfully conduct Video and Data conferences. Communicating with TeamBoard is easy. Participants are able to connect to your computer, view your TeamBoard from anywhere a network is available and actively participate in presentations. TeamBoard is designed to interface with T.120 data conference applications like Windows NetMeeting, but can also be used with more traditional video conference equipment (e.g. PolyCom, Tandberg, VTel). Your remote viewers see everything you do, as all of your TeamBoard actions appear on their remote monitors and television screens.

1. In Draw, display the page with the background image you want to remove.

2. Select EDIT, CLEAR BACKGROUND.The background Image is removed from your current Draw page.

Scaling an Image This section explains how to resize an image when using TeamBoard Draw.

Scaling is a feature in TeamBoard Draw that allows the user to control image size in the Draw window. Whether an image is larger or smaller than the Draw window, when Scaling is enabled it resizes the image to fill the Draw window.

When the Draw window is resized, the image is scaled so you can still see the entire image. If Scaling is disabled, the image returns to its original size.

You may only see a portion of the image if it was originally larger than the Draw window. If this occurs, scroll bars will automatically appear to the right of, or below the image as required. Use these scroll bars to see different areas of the large image.

Note Scaling must be turned on when working in Whiteboard Mode. Scaling is always on when working with annotations.

In Interactive Mode, scaling can be very helpful during online conferences when there are multiple windows open and arranged on the desktop. If TeamBoard Draw is open and the window is not maximized, scaling enables you and the online participants to see the entire image in the Draw window.

1. Select TOOLS, SCALING.A bullet appears to the left of Scaling in the menu.

2. To disable Scaling follow the same procedure.The bullet disappears.

About Using TeamBoard as a Touchscreen

This section explains how to use TeamBoard as a touchscreen.

TeamBoard's large drawing surface becomes an effective touch-sensitive surface with the use of your Data Projector. Your fingertip acts as a mouse; you can touch an icon projected onto the TeamBoard and your audience instantly sees the computer react to the touch, and display the change on the TeamBoard.

Presentations with TeamBoard are highly effective. A valuable tool for instructing and presenting, use the TeamBoard ActionBar to control your slide presentations all the while maintaining the audience’s focus on you and TeamBoard. TeamBoard also allows you to annotate during your presentation by drawing on top of applications and presentations projected on to the TeamBoard.

Use the Virtual Keyboard to type information into applications, without leaving the TeamBoard.

To use TeamBoard as a touchscreen, a Data Projector must be connected to the computer and aimed onto the TeamBoard. As the projected image can vary in size and location, calibration is needed to align the touchscreen.

94

Once Interactive Calibration has been performed, the user can touch the TeamBoard with a finger or the stylus in order to operate applications. Applications may also be annotated in Interactive Mode.

Activating the Touchscreen

This section explains how to activate TeamBoard’s touchscreen.

1. If necessary, perform Interactive Calibration on your TeamBoard.For more information refer to “Calibrating TeamBoard” on page 27.

2. Switch into Interactive Mode.For more information refer to “Changing Modes” on page 33.

3. Use TeamBoard in the following ways:• Select options on the TeamBoard by pressing on the

screen with your finger or the Stylus.This is similar to selecting what you see on your moni-tor using a mouse.

• Press the ActionBar buttons on the TeamBoard to per-form the buttons’ functions.For more information refer to “Using the ActionBar Buttons” on page 95.The buttons can be further con-figured using the TeamBoard Recorder to create or edit macros. For more information refer to “Customiz-ing TeamBoard’s ActionBar Buttons with Macros” on page 139.

• Enter Text and Numbers with the Virtual Keyboard.For more information refer to “Entering Text and Num-bers with the Virtual Keyboard” on page 97.

• Using your finger you can click, double-click or use a secondary mouse button to click on content.This is similar to using a 2-button mouse. For more information refer to “Clicking with the Virtual Mouse” on page 101.

Note The functionality that TeamBoard enables with PowerPoint makes it an ideal tool for meetings, conferences, group discussions, planning sessions and more. The TeamBoard is a single solution to multiple user events and allows simple integration with a host of software tools.

PowerPoint and Annotation

If using Annotation with PowerPoint ensure that Annotation is launched prior to launching PowerPoint. For more information refer to “Launching Annotate” on page 105.

Build Effects and Transitions

PowerPoint allows “build effects” and “transitions” between slides. Build effects add special effects to the display of content in a slide. This may include, for example, bulleted lists flying in from the right, or text changing from one color to another as new topics appear and so on. Transitions allow you to add effects between slides. This may include, for example, effects such as shutters between slides or slides being replaced by dissolving and so on. The TeamBoard is the ideal tool to take advantage of these effects for presentations in which the focus is on the materials and the presenter.

Using Pack and Go in PowerPoint

The Pack and Go feature of PowerPoint allows you to run a slide show on other computers. The Pack and Go Wizard packs

114

all files and fonts used in a presentation into one file. When you intend to run your show on a computer that doesn't have Microsoft PowerPoint installed, you should include the PowerPoint Viewer. You can include linked files as part of your package, and if you use TrueType fonts you can include them as well. If you make changes to your presentation after you use the Pack and Go Wizard, just run the wizard again to update the package.

After you pack the presentation, you can unpack the presentation to run it on other computers.

1. To launch the Pack and Go Wizard select FILE, PACK AND GO.If the Pack and Go option is not available (in Office 2000) select FILE and wait three or four seconds for the full menu

115

to appear. Alternatively, click the chevrons at the bottom of the menu to expand the full menu.

2. Follow the steps of the wizard to create the show.

Note This format is ideal if a show is not to be altered by the presenter. However, the slide show may still be annotated or drawn on.

Customizing TeamBoard’s ActionBar Buttons helps you to make the most of TeamBoard’s presentation, training and communication capabilities. Customizing is done using the TeamBoard Recorder to create Macros.

Note Use caution when working with TeamBoard macros. Many of the macros exist to simplify your interaction with software tools. Deleting or modifying these macros may result in undesirable problems.

About Customizing TeamBoard’s ActionBar Buttons for Different Software Applications

To customize TeamBoard’s ActionBar Buttons for different software applications, you use the TeamBoard Recorder to create Macros. The TeamBoard Recorder is an advanced tool that can be used to customize TeamBoard ActionBar button functions for any Windows application. For such an application, each button is assigned a macro that is played back when the user selects that button on the TeamBoard ActionBar.

Tip Macros may be transferred easily from one computer to another. If one of your default TeamBoard macros is damaged you can replace it with an unedited source macro from another machine.

What is a Macro?

This section explains the purpose of macros.

A macro contains all the keyboard and mouse actions required to perform a specific event. You record a macro to capture all these actions. Then you can run a macro to play back the actions.

For example, TeamBoard includes macros for PowerPoint so that when you run a slide show, you can use the pen color buttons, on the TeamBoard ActionBar, to highlight items on a slide and you can use the navigation buttons to move forward and backward in the slide show.

However, you may be using an application for which no macros are provided. In order to customize a button on the TeamBoard ActionBar for one of these Windows applications, you must record a macro.

Customizing TeamBoard’s ActionBar Buttons with Macros 141

It is important to understand that macros must be recorded for each TeamBoard button, against each required application. Additionally, should the macro require mouse movement it will need to be recorded at each video screen resolution. For example, a macro that involves mouse movement recorded at SVGA (800 by 600 resolution) for a particular application may not play back properly on a screen running XGA (1024 by 768 resolution).

Tip Consider using keyboard shortcuts when creating macros. Most menu options in Windows are accessible by first pressing the Alt key once and then pressing the letter that is underlined in the appropriate menu. For example, the option FILE, PRINT can generally be accessed by pressing Alt then F and then P.

The default TeamBoard Recorder files contain play back macros for these common drawing and whiteboard applications at four standard video resolutions:• Microsoft Paint (mspaint.tmb)• Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show (powerpnt.tmb)• Windows NetMeeting Whiteboard (conf.tmb)

What is a .tmb File?

This section explains the purpose of a .tmb file.

A .tmb file is a TeamBoard Recorder File. This type of file stores one or more macros. Macros are used to combine multiple steps in an application into a single, quick action to save you time. The macros play back within the application when you press the buttons on the TeamBoard ActionBar.

Working with Macros

This section explains how to work with macros in TeamBoard.


We recommend that you review the following materials carefully and create some of the sample macros described in this document before creating custom macros.

Tip Custom macros may also be recorded for you and inserted into the TeamBoard folder. For custom macro development contact Front Runner Publishing Solutions Inc. by e–mail, via the Internet, or by phone.

• Email teamboard@front–runner.com• Visit http://www.front-runner.com• Call either (416) 410–3250 (in North America) or call your

local operator for dialing information to contact North America and then + 416 410 3250.

Launching the Macro Recorder

The Macro Recorder is a utility included with your TeamBoard software. Once the Macro Recorder is launched macros may be opened, created or saved. The Macro Recorder may be opened as follows.

1. Click Start, then select PROGRAMS, TEAMBOARD, RECORDER.The TeamBoard Recorder dialog box appears.





Opening a Macro

In order to add a new macro to an existing *.tmb file, the macro recorder must be launched and the existing macro opened.

1. Launch the Macro Recorder.

2. Select FILE, OPEN.The Open dialog appears.

3. Select the location of the macro to open.

4. Select the macro to open and click Open.If an existing macro is already open and has been modified you will be asked if you wish to save or discard your changes. Click Yes or No as required.


5. Make changes to the macro as required.

Targeting and Identifying a Macro

This section explains how to specifically target and identify macros.

Targeting a Macro

When recording a macro the target needs to be identified. The TeamBoard Recorder displays the running applications (open programs and files) that are available when macros are recorded. Running applications are identified by both the application (the specific file that is open) and the program (the


software) hosting the application. For the following information consider the illustration below:

In this example there are multiple running applications. Any one of them may be selected. Once selected, a specific method of identification must be made. Five options exist.

ProgramIdentification

Overview

Selecting Program, under Identification, associates the macro with the listed program, under Programs. The three applications listed are conf.exe, sol.exe and powerpnt.exe. A macro associated with conf.exe may have some problems running correctly as conf.exe is active twice. However, if a macro is


created for PowerPoint, only one instance of powerpnt.exe exists.

Program Examples

All of the following phrases identify a specific title.

1. conf.exeEntering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be conf.exe. This macro will affect any open instance of this tool. It is not suggested to do this as the conf.exe program exists twice (once for the NetMeeting and once for the untitled Whiteboard) and will play back in a manner other than that intended.

2. sol.exeEntering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be Solitaire. This macro will affect any open instance of this tool. Since Solitaire is a stand alone application with no files associated with it, the macro associated with the program will play back as intended every time.

TitleIdentification

For the following examples, consider that the four applications listed are NetMeeting - Not in a Call, Untitled - WhiteBoard -


Not in a call, Solitaire and Microsoft PowerPoint - [Sales Report.ppt].

Whole Title

Selecting Whole Title, under Identification, associates the macro with the entire listed title, under Applications. A macro associated with the Whole Title will only run if the title matches perfectly. Therefore, if a macro is created for Solitaire, it will only play back if the active application is the complete phrase Solitaire. It will not play back in any other instance.

Whole Title Examples

All of the following phrases identify a specific title.

1. NetMeeting - Not in a CallEntering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be only NetMeeting when it is not in a call. This macro is poorly created as it is will only run if there is no current call. If a specific call is entered the macro will not run as expected.


2. SolitaireEntering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be only Solitaire. This macro will play back only in an application titled Solitaire.

Title Prefix

Selecting Title Prefix, under Identification, associates the macro with the beginning of the listed title, under Applications. A macro associated with the Title Prefix will only run if the start of the title matches perfectly. Therefore, if a macro is created for NetMeeting, and an application called, say, NetMeeting - Not in a Call or NetMeeting - Conference is open, the macro will still affect it.

Title Prefix Examples

All of the following phrases identify a specific title prefix.

1. NetMeetingEntering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be any application beginning with the word NetMeeting, regardless of application. This macro will affect any calls that are made with NetMeeting.

2. Microsoft PowerPointEntering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be any application beginning with the words Microsoft PowerPoint. This macro will affect any open file in PowerPoint.

Partial Title

Selecting Partial Title, under Identification, associates the macro with any part of the listed title, under Applications. A macro associated with the Partial Title will only run if any part of the title matches perfectly. Therefore, if a macro is created for Whiteboard, and an application called Untitled - Whiteboard - Not in a call, or an application called Flowchart - Whiteboard - Conference is open, the macro will still affect either of these applications.


Partial Title Examples

All of the following phrases identify a specific title prefix.

1. WhiteboardEntering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be any application containing the word Whiteboard, regardless of application. This macro will affect any application containing the word Whiteboard and is an effective way of targeting only the Whiteboard feature in Microsoft NetMeeting.

Title Suffix

Selecting Title Suffix, under Identification, associates the macro with the end of the listed title, under Applications. A macro associated with the Title Suffix will only run if the end of the title matches perfectly. Therefore, if a macro is created for .xls, and an application called, say, Microsoft Excel - [sales.xls] or Microsoft Excel - [growth.xls] is open, the macro will still affect it.

Title Suffix Examples

All of the following phrases identify a specific title suffix.

1. .xls]Entering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be any application ending with the phrase .xls], regardless of application. This macro will affect anything ending in the extension .xls (generally a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet). This is a good macro if the effect is to automate processes in any such spreadsheet.

2. .ppt]Entering this in the text area of the Identification assigns the macro target to be any application ending with the phrase .ppt], regardless of application. This macro will affect anything ending in the extension .ppt (generally a Microsoft PowerPoint file). This is a poor macro as the PowerPoint slides may also be opened using the slide show viewer and therefore the macro may play back for a program for which it is not intended.


Recording a Macro for an Application

This section explains how to record a macro to run with an application.

Important Before you begin recording be sure the application is open for which you are creating the custom macro.


2. Select FILE, NEW to create a new recorder (.tmb) file.If an existing macro is already open and has been modified you will be asked if you wish to save or discard your changes. Click Yes or No as required.

3. Click Record.The Macro Properties dialog appears.

4. Enter a name for the macro.

5. Select all appropriate options as required.• Associate with an application ensures the macro is associ-

ated with a specific application that is open.• Start with Windows key will automatically click the Win-

dows Start button before recording the macro. This is useful if the Taskbar is located in different positions or not visible on screen.

• Record mouse clicks will keep track of objects and posi-tion of the mouse when a button is clicked.

• Record mouse motion is only available if Record mouse clicks is selected. This will track and record the mouse


from the beginning of the macro recording to the end of it.

Tip If mouse movements are recorded the macro plays back much more slowly. To improve the efficiency of the macro, it is recommended that you use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible.

6. Click OK.The Select Application dialog appears.

7. Select the application to record, under Running applications.

8. Select the method of identifying the application, under Identification.For more information refer to “Targeting and Identifying a Macro” on page 145.

9. Select Maximize to automatically resize the selected application to the full size available when the recording begins.This must be done if you are recording mouse movements. Failure to do so will result in undesirable effects due to the


ability to reposition a window that is not in its maximum size mode.

10. Click OK to begin recording the macro.

11. Record your actions.This is best done using keyboard commands rather than the mouse.

12. Click Stop or press Ctrl+Brk to end the macro.

The TBRECORD dialog appears.

13. Click OK to complete the macro.The new macro appears in the Macro Recorder dialog.

14. Test the macro by playing it back.For more information refer to “Testing a Macro” on page 154.

15. If the macro is correct, assign a trigger to the TeamBoard.For more information refer to “Assigning a Macro Trigger” on page 155.

16. If the macro does not play back as expected, delete it and re-record the macro with different settings if required.For more information refer to “Deleting a Macro” on page 161.

17. Record additional macros as required.


18. When all macros have been recorded, select FILE, SAVE AS and enter the file name as required.

19. Close the Recorder dialog box.

20. Restart the computer in order for the change to take effect.

Testing a Macro

This section explains how to test a macro once it has been recorded.

This can be done by using the Macro Recorder to play back a macro (for testing the macro only) or by assigning a macro to a trigger based on a button on the TeamBoard ActionBar.

Note Only use the Macro Recorder in this way to test new macros or to troubleshoot macros that do not work from the TeamBoard ActionBar. Once a macro is developed, tested and works as expected, create a trigger to run it from the TeamBoard ActionBar.

1. Select the macro you have recorded.

2. Click Play to run the macro a single time.If the macro does not play back as required, delete and record the macro with different settings.

Assigning a Macro Trigger


2. Open the .tmb file containing the macro to assign trigger to.

3. Select the macro to assign a trigger to.


4. Click Trigger.The Macro Trigger dialog appears.

5. Enter a value for the Trigger.

Note The trigger must be written exactly as shown. That is, the phrase ActionBar must be two words, each of which is capitalized. If this is not done, the macro assigned to the TeamBoard ActionBar does not work.

• ActionBar;0;0 to select the first button (Small Erase)• ActionBar;1;0 to select the second button• ActionBar;2;0 to select the third button and so on, until• ActionBar;14;0 to select the last button

6. Enter values for the O/S language, the EXE date and the resolution as required.For more information refer to “Trigger Settings” on page 156.

7. Click OK.

Trigger Settings

When a trigger is assigned to a macro the settings may be specified to affect the macro that is run based on various criteria. Therefore, a macro may be applied to run based on the installation language of the operating system, the date of the executable file or the resolution of the display.

O/S Language The language of the operating system. This code is a two or three character reference to the actual installation language. The three character code is specific to only one language. For a general rule use only the first two letters. Therefore ENU is the code for US English, ENC for Canadian English and EN for any English based language.

EXE Date This is the range of dates (inclusive) that the program version is associated with. The EXE date allows different macros to be triggered based on the version (the date of the executable file) of the software. Therefore macros may be defined for different releases of the same software.

Using the EXE date a macro may be created that is always associated with, for example, version 4.0 of PowerPoint. In this example the macro triggered depends on the date of the executable. Therefore, a specific macro may be triggered based on different dates of the powerpnt.exe file. The advantage of this is that you can create multiple macros that are triggered by the same application or program, but that run in a unique way if the procedures in the software differ between releases.

Desktop XResolution

The value of the width of the screen (for example, when in 800 X 600 resolution (SVGA) this value would be 800). This is only required if the macro is based on mouse movements. In this case, record a macro for all resolutions at which the macro might be played back.

Deleting a Macro

Important Use caution when deleting any macro. When a macro is deleted there is no undo. You are not asked to confirm the deletion of the macro.


2. Open the *.tmb file to delete a macro from.

3. Select the Macro to delete and click Delete.The macro is deleted from the *.tmb file. If you have deleted a macro inadvertently, close the current *.tmb file without saving it.

4. Select FILE, SAVE to save the *.tmb file with the modification.

Sample Macro

This section explains how to create a macro for use with Solitaire.

To help you become more comfortable with the Macro Recorder, and to create custom macros, this section will guide you through the creation of a sample macro. In order to create this sample macro you will need to have the TeamBoard software installed. In addition you will need to have Solitaire installed on your machine.


Launching Solitaire

To create macros an application must be open.

1. Click Start, then select PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, GAMES and select SOLITAIRE.The Solitaire game appears.

6 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This section contains answers to frequently asked TeamBoard questions. The topics in this chapter are divided into the following sections:• Basic Functionality Topics• Troubleshooting Topics• Conferencing Topics• Application Topics• General Topics

Basic Functionality Topics

This section explains how to solve some frequently asked basic functionality questions.

How does TeamBoard work?

The TeamBoard consists of a flexible layer of conductive film stretched over a rigid layer of the same film. When a marker, eraser, stylus, or finger presses on the board, the two layers make contact and the TeamBoard controller is able to determine the position of that contact on the board and the TeamBoard software translates it into coordinates on the computer screen.

What else do I need to make TeamBoard work?

The Serial TeamBoard requires a Windows-based computer and, to use the interactive touchscreen function, a Data Projector. The TeamBoard, controller, cables, markers, eraser, stylus, Serial Adapter, Power Adapter, Power Cord, installation software and instructional materials are provided.


The USB TeamBoard requires a Windows-based computer and, to use the interactive touchscreen function, a Data Projector. The TeamBoard, controller, cables, markers, eraser, stylus, USB Cable, installation software and instructional materials are provided.

What type of computer do I need?

TeamBoard requires a Windows-based computer. Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, Me and XP are supported. For more information refer to “Before Installing TeamBoard Software” on page 17.

Note If TeamBoard is used in conjunction with a very resource-demanding application, a faster computer, or one with more memory, will work better.

How is TeamBoard wired?

The USB TeamBoard has a USB Adapter that connects your computer to the RJ-45 cable. The RJ-45 Cable connects to the Controller, which is located on the back of the TeamBoard.

The Serial TeamBoard has a RJ-45 Cable that connects the Controller, which is located on the back of the TeamBoard, and the Serial Adapter, which is connected directly to the computer’s Serial port. The power source is also connected to the Serial Adapter.

Can I conceal the TeamBoard wiring?

The only cable that directly connects the TeamBoard to the computer is either the USB Adapter and/or the RJ-45 Cable. The USB Adapter cannot be concealed. To conceal the RJ-45 Cable, install the same cable in your facility walls, ceiling and/or floor, from the TeamBoard location to the computer location. Appropriate jacks should be installed at both of its ends. Additional pieces of short lengths of cable can then be

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 169

used to connect the TeamBoard to one jack, and the computer to the other.

Note With the USB TeamBoard the RJ-45 Calbe should be no more than 50’ (fifty feet, or 15 meters) in length.

Can I use my old connected RJ-11 wiring for the H-series controller?

Only with a Serial TeamBoard. If the Serial TeamBoard was hard wired to a wall during installation, then you should have an RJ-11 jack on the wall with an RJ-11 “pig tail” wire running from the back of the TeamBoard into the RJ-11 jack on the wall. Simply replace that jack with an RJ-45 connector and use an RJ-45 “pig tail” wire instead. Please call Technical Support for “pin-outs”.

How much space does the software take up on the computer?

Make sure that your system meets all the necessary requirements for TeamBoard. For more information refer to “Before Installing TeamBoard Software” on page 17.

50MB is required for the TeamBoard Suite of software. In addition, space is required for all software that is used in conjunction with the TeamBoard (Paint, NetMeeting, etc.).

If I have an older version of the TeamBoard software, should I uninstall this software?

The existing version of your TeamBoard software will automatically be replaced when the new version is installed.

What type of projector do I need?

Any technology that projects the computer’s display onto the TeamBoard is acceptable. This includes everything from a high resolution LCD projector to a relatively inexpensive overhead projector with LCD panel. The projector must be able to


support the resolution of your computer. For example 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) or 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) are the most common desktop resolutions.

What is keystoning and how should I deal with it?

Keystoning occurs when your projected image appears skewed or not rectangular. In order to correct it, raise or lower the height of the projector accordingly or adjust the settings on your Data Projector.

What is the resolution of TeamBoard’s projected image?

The resolution of the image projected onto the TeamBoard is dependent on the resolution capabilities of the projector and computer used.

What is calibration, and when should I do it?

Calibration is a fast and easy process that helps the TeamBoard software interpret locations on the TeamBoard. You only need

This is correct.This image is keystoned. Move the projector to the left.

This image is keystoned. Move the projector to the right.

This image is keystoned. Raise the projector.

This image is keystoned. Lower the projector.


to calibrate TeamBoard once for Whiteboard Mode and the ActionBar; however, we suggest you calibrate for Interactive Mode each time the projector or the TeamBoard is moved.

Is there a TeamBoard-specific whiteboard application?

Yes, it is TeamBoard Draw. But you can also write directly into Windows NetMeeting Whiteboard, Microsoft Paint, and Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show.

How are TeamBoard Draw files stored?

A TeamBoard Draw file is saved as a .tmb file, which is specific to TeamBoard Draw. This means that you can only open a .tmb file if you have TeamBoard Draw software. To make it easier to share TeamBoard Draw files with other people, you can do one of two things:• You can share TeamBoard Draw software with anyone;• Or you can export TeamBoard Draw files to a commonly

used graphic file format such as bitmap, jpeg or png, as well as export an entire workbook to PDF or HTML files. They can then be opened in any other graphic application, copied and pasted into other Windows applications.

Can you assign a file name to each page saved?

A TeamBoard Draw file contains multiple pages under one file name. But you can export a page to a commonly used graphic file format, such as bitmap, jpeg and png and then name it separately.

How do I use TeamBoard with NetMeeting?

Use TeamBoard to enhance the communication during a NetMeeting online conference held over a network or the Internet. Use the Share function and share Draw so that everything you draw on TeamBoard can be seen by all of the online meeting participants. Alternatively, use NetMeeting Whiteboard as the whiteboard software. For more information refer to “Conferencing Topics” on page 177.


How do I input alphanumeric data at the TeamBoard when I am in Interactive Mode?

The TeamBoard Suite of software includes a Virtual Keyboard. Use the Virtual Keyboard to type text and numbers into your applications while you are at the TeamBoard in Interactive Mode. To access it, click or tap the TeamBoard System Tray icon and select Virtual Keyboard from the SYSTEM TRAY menu.

How do I clean TeamBoard?

The best way to clean TeamBoard is with Eganboard Cleaner. However, Windex™ cleaner also works well.

What should I do if I wrote on the TeamBoard with a permanent marker?

Using a regular dry-erase marker, scribble back and forth over the permanent marker ink and erase. You will see it gradually disappear. Wipe and reapply if necessary.

What happens if I lose a marker or eraser?

Simply replace a marker with any standard dry-erase marker, and replace an eraser with a standard dry-erase eraser.

What happens if I lose the TeamBoard Stylus?

You can still interact with projected applications using your finger, or contact your dealer for a replacement.

What is a USB port and how do I connect a Serial TeamBoard to one?

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and it is a simple way to connect peripherals to your computer. It can be used to attach a wide variety of devices like scanners, cameras, keyboards, and speakers - almost anything to your computer. If you have a


Serial TeamBoard, you can connect TeamBoard to your computer’s USB port using a USB/Serial 9-pin converter.

TeamBoard has researched and tested converters and recommends that you use the Xircom® PortGear U1-S9 PGSDB9 USB/Serial 9-pin converter from Intel®. This model works with Windows 95, Windows 98. Windows NT and Windows XP are currently not supported. You can purchase the converter through your local computer distributor or directly from Intel® atwww.xircom.com.

Contact TeamBoard Technical Support for instructions on how to install a USB/Serial 9-pin converter.

Note You can also purchase the USB Conversion Kit. Contact TeamBoard Technical Support for more information.

Troubleshooting Topics

This section explains how to solve some frequently asked troubleshooting questions.

Why isn’t my TeamBoard working?

If the TeamBoard does not appear to be working, then check the following:• Is TeamBoard enabled? Select the TeamBoard System Tray
