GCC 211 SmartBoard Quickstart Guide
Using the Smartboard with a Windows laptop
In this room, the display should remain on HDMI 1 input. There is an Extron switcher behind the monitor that can be manually changed if the input device you want to show isn’t coming up. Green lights on the device denote that the source is selected and active, orange lights denote that the source is available, but inactive.
In order to connect to the smart boards, you will need the Kramer VIA app installed on your laptop/smartphone.
The necessary app can be found here or by searching for Kramer VIA App on google and selecting the correct version for your device.
Once downloaded, you should open the app. You will come to a screen that asks you for the IP of the device.
The IP Address is 136.176.77.159
Once you connect to the device correctly, you will get a bar on your laptop with “Present”
Just Click “Present” and then you will have other options under “Features” that you can select from.
Select the “Whiteboard” option under “Features”
A menu will appear on the smartboard display where you can select various drawing tools, eraser, and various other tools.

Using the Smartboard with the in-room Mac Mini
The In-room Mac Mini is set up to function with the smartboard.
All you have to do is turn it on, set the input on the switcher if it isn’t automatically selected and log in using your BU Credentials.
After you log in, the smartboard should function as your mouse and you will be able to annotate with the marker.
