Step 1: Configure Interactive Whiteboards

Note: See the display manual for details on your specific model.

There are two options for configuring auto-input switching on supported Sharp displays. Telnet over LAN is recommended because it does not require a physical cable. If your display does not support telnet, use RS-232C, which is available across all display models.

General Display Configuration Notes

The Go display agent and display must be on a network where they can communicate directly.
In power save mode, the monitor may not wake up as LAN is turned off (default setting).
For models PN-L651H and PNL-C751H, the input switch command is not accepted for up to a minute after power-on. The switching command will not work on initial power-on because the switch command is sent after power-on.
It is not recommended to use the Crestron^® control interface and Go auto-input switch at the same time. Since both options can change inputs dynamically, the results may not be as expected.
On some models, Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) can be enabled for automatic switching when a device is connected to the display. This may cause unexpected results as the display will switch away from the original view. In that case, disable the CEC feature for auto-switch use.
