MANUALLY DETECTING THE eBEAM HARDWARE
When the Detect eBeam hardware at application start preference is disabled, you must
manually instruct eBeam Software to detect the eBeam hardware.
To detect the hardware manually:
• In eBeam Software’s Meeting application, choose eBeam Hardware > Detect from the
Tools menu.
• In eBeam Software’s Meeting application, left-click the eBeam Status icon.
• Switch into an eBeam Software mode.
SELECTING MODE AT STARTUP
To make it easier for you to specify how you plan to use eBeam Software, the first time eBeam
Software launches and detects portable eBeam technology, a mode selection dialog box appears.
This dialog box allows you to select which mode to use eBeam Software in. Possible selections
are:
• Whiteboard mode
• Flipchart mode (Not available with 3M™ Digital WallDisplay)
• Projection mode
To select a mode at startup, first select the mode that you wish to use eBeam Software in.
Next, click the How to Calibrate button to open the calibration wizard for to the mode you
have selected.
SELECTING A PORT SETTING
A “port” is the connection on your computer between eBeam Software and the hardware. The
default port settings are appropriate for most situations. Most often, setting the software to
autodetect the hardware is the best choice. However, if your hardware is not detected, use the
following procedure to review the serial port setting.
To check the serial port setting:
1. Open the eBeam Hardware Setup dialog box by:
• Clicking the eBeam Hardware Setup button from the Detect eBeam dialog (which
opens automatically when detection fails); or
• Choosing eBeam Hardware > eBeam Hardware Setup from the Tools menu within
eBeam Software’s Meeting application; or
• Choosing eBeam Hardware Setup from the eBeam’s system tray menu.
The Autodetect radio button is enabled by default.
Note: For Microsoft
®
Windows
®
computers, note that Autodetect can detect COM1,
COM2, and USB only.
2. To specify a port, select the Connect to radio button, and then select a port setting from
the pull-down menu.
3. Click OK.
At this point, the eBeam Software automatically attempts to detect the hardware at the
selected port.
If eBeam Software is unable to detect the hardware, see Unable to Detect the Hardware.
