Impulse Whiteboard Operation 23
To connect your laptop computer to the Impulse board:
1 Locate the 30 foot long laptop cable provided in the Impulse
cable bin beneath the board on the left side. This cable is
permanently connected to the board and has three connectors
to plug into to your laptop: video, USB, and audio.
2 Connect the video connector to the video jack or adapter on your
laptop.
3 Connect the USB connector into the USB jack on your laptop. (If
you do not have a USB jack on your laptop, connect the USB to
PS/2 adapter (provided) to the end of the USB connector. Then
connect the adapter’s PS/2 connector to the PS/2 jack on your
computer. Although you can control the laptop from the board,
you will be unable to use the mouse in absolute pointing mode.)
4 To play audio from your computer over the Impulse speakers,
connect the 1/8” mini jack to the laptop line out or headphone
jack.
5 If it is not already on, start your computer.
A projector may already be connected to the Impulse system. If this
is the case, proceed to “Operating Your Laptop from the Impulse
Board” on page 24.
