UPDATE PROCESS | ||||
General description of this process: The SmartCast® Touchscreen software is updated by connecting the tablet to Internet over a WiFi connection. This could be a mobile phone hot spot or a wireless access point within the building near where the tablet is located. Once the tablet connects to the Internet, it automatically downloads and installs the software from the cloud with minimal user interaction. The user's main role in this process is to change the Touchscreen's WiFi back to the SWG when the update process is complete. | ||||
1. | To change the tablet's WiFi connection, navigate to the WiFi page of the Touchscreen application. This is done by starting at the home screen, shown on the right. Press Get Started. | |||
2. | The Touchscreen display will change to the screen on the right. Press Settings (bottom right of screen). | |||
3. | The Touchscreen display will now prompt you to enter the PIN you assigned when you commissioned the SmartCast® Touchscreen. Enter 6-digit PIN. | |||

You will see a screen similar to the one on the right.
