6. Optionally, type the size of chunks in kilobytes for TCP traffic in the TCP chunk

size box.

I M P O R T A N T

Increasing the chunk size while reducing the milliseconds per chunk

increases the rate that SMART Sync attempts to send TCP traffic. If you

are having trouble with Collaboration file transfer or the Observe function,

consider increasing the milliseconds per chunk to improve reliability (at the

cost of performance). The default values in the TCP delay and TCP chunk

size boxes are sufficient for most network conditions and you should only

change them with the guidance of SMART Support.

To set screen capture

preferences

1. Select Options > Preferences.

The Preferences dialog box appears.

2. Click the Advanced tab.

3. Optionally, select the Use Redraw Hooks DLL check box. This option improves

SMART Sync’s screen capture performance.

4. Optionally, select the Use Mirror Driver check box. This option improves

SMART Sync’s screen capture performance.

I M P O R T A N T

If you experience capture problems, clear the Use Mirror Driver check

box, as it is not suitable for all systems. If you continue to experience

capture problems, clear the Use Redraw Hooks DLL check box, as this

option does not work well with some special applications. Disabling these

options increases the time required to capture screen images but does not

affect any other aspect of SMART Sync.

5. Optionally, select the Hide desktop background check box. If you select this

option, the desktop background isn’t included when you observe, control or

broadcast a student’s desktop.

6. Optionally, select the Hide window content while dragging and resizing

check box.
