Using a SMARTGoWire cable
Any computer connected to your interactive flat panel requires SMART software. Typically, you
install this software on your room computer so that it’s always ready to use.
However, if you want to connect a laptop that doesn’t have SMARTsoftware installed, you can
connect a SMARTGoWire cable from the laptop to the USB cable for your interactive flat panel. The
SMARTGoWire cable enables you to have touch control of your laptop and use SMARTMeetingPro
software without installing the software on your laptop.
A SMARTGoWire cable is included with SMARTBoard 8055i-SMP and 8055ie-SMP interactive flat
panels.
