Because every school/district is different in their varying levels of devices and needs, most don't realize the drastic impact a few network devices can have on your existing setup. Communication through networks can be done through software and hardware. The data is exchanged via data links. The links might be either wired media or wireless media. The possibilities can be infinite. Below you can find a general list of troubleshooting questions to get you started:
Yes. Prior to installation of your new interactive flat panels, it helps to think of a few things that will ensure smooth deployment. For example, connecting your IFPs to a 5 Ghz 802.11ac network will yield the best results when performing functions that require consistent bandwidth and low latency. Screen duplication (I.E. Cast or AirPlay) is a very useful and commonly used feature which will benefit from having clients and IFP modules connected to the same physical wireless access point whenever possible and having all those devices be on the same VLAN/ Subnet.
Yes, the following information can be found at: https://support.smarttech.com/docs/software/iq/en/configuring/connecting-to-a-network.cshtml
This includes a description of what port/ protocol is used for as well as which URLs are for connected services.
No, in most environments impact should be negligible. In specific cases, depending on customer equipment and network topology, below are some guidelines to follow:
Treat each IFP as a tablet or Chromebook, for example, in terms of possible bandwidth consumption. Given the nature of these types of devices, bandwidth profiles are usually limited to a few 100 KB to several MBs based on application.

Due to SMART IFP interactive modules being based on highly secured custom configured hardened operating systems, that only provide access to secure content, the security impact and risk exposure is minimal.You can manage IFP content security by taking advantage of the ability to add your proxy server/content filter to the IFP’s wireless configuration.
Provided that the correct URLs are whitelisted on your network firewall or security appliance (please refer to question two), updates to both software and firmware components occur automatically and will have little to no impact on network performance.
Yes. All ARM-based architecture and x86-based architecture is vulnerable. However, the risk is mitigated by first-party-managed security updates to the operating system and included modules.
The software architecture of a current generation Kapp IQ module is Android based with SElinux modules used. Developer access is locked down for safety even with physical access to the panel and/or module.
Yes, all current IFP models support hardwire ethernet connectivity with limited proxy configuration capability.
To filter content for users on your panel, you will need to use an in-line content filtering solution to protect users.
Yes, SMART IFPs are fully compatible with HDCP 1.4 profile.
No, application delivery is provided, maintained, and secured by SMART. The applications on the panel are secured and limited to educational content.
No, current architecture and security prevents unauthorized apps being loaded via USB or downloaded over the network.
No, application and device management is provided first party through SMART’s secured content delivery network.
To prevent automatic updates, utilize a whitelist/blacklist configuration to allow or disallow updates. Please refer to this article for details: https://support.smarttech.com/docs/software/iq/en/configuring/connecting-to-a-network.cshtml
Updates typically occur in the evening after the school day is over.
Updates to the IFP and Kapp IQ module consume negligible bandwidth and will not impact your network.
No, all operating system update bits are verified before being applied. The update is downloaded, verified, and then deployed.
Google Cast, Apple Airplay, and Miracast are available for screen duplication.
No. Google Cast, Apple Airplay, and Miracast technology are built into the panel.
To establish a screen duplication session, the Kapp IQ module must be running the screen sharing app or clients will not be able to connect.
No. When you connect to the panel using an HDMI or Display Port cable, you are establishing a direct connection with no involvement in the network infrastructure. Screen casting is a remote connection that utilizes network infrastructure components.
Currently, a 802.11AC 5Ghz network would be optimal for leveraging all of the features within the IFP and Kapp IQ Module.
Yes - however, success will vary based on vendor equipment, current firmware revision, and deployment topology.
Wireless network congestion, wireless access point interference, network latency, and response time can all be factors in your overall experience.
The most ideal configuration would have client devices and IFPs on the same VLAN, and where possible, the same access point. When displaying full motion video or casting full HD content, these are the most impactful deployment choices.
For best results, it is recommended that your Kapp IQ be at the latest firmware build, if possible.
