27 | CONNECTING YOUR INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO YOUR COMPUTER
Connecting with a USB Cable
Your SMART Board interactive whiteboard
has a high-power USB 2.0 high-speed peripheral
interface that runs at speeds of up to 12 Mbps.
The unit works with USB 2.0- and USB 1.1-
compliant interfaces.
Your interactive whiteboard’s main USB
connection is a captive flying lead cable. The
connector is a USB Type-B receptacle.
This captive cable provides convenient access to
the USB receptacle without you having to remove
your interactive whiteboard from the wall. You
can also place the flying lead and USB cable
in the channel on the back of your interactive
whiteboard so that it’s not visible.
To connect
using a USB cable
1. Connect one end of the included USB cable
to the captive connector suspended from your
interactive whiteboard’s lower-right corner.
NOTE
You must apply approximately 10 oz.
(300 g) of downward pressure to unplug a
USB cable from the captive USB
receptacle. Because an entire 16' (5 m)
USB cable weighs approximately 7 oz.
(200 g), you don’t need to tape or otherwise
secure the USB cable to the captive
connector. The design ensures that
if someone trips on the cable it will disconnect rather than cause injury or
damage to the controller module.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB receptacle on your computer.
3. Press the power button on your computer to start your interactive whiteboard.
4. Log on to your computer if required. If your computer doesn’t require you to log
on, allow your computer to reach its default start screen.
If you’re using a computer running Mac OS X operating system software, or if you
already have the appropriate USB driver installed on your Windows computer, the
Ready light on the lower-right frame immediately turns red, and then flashes
green. If this happens, see Installing SMART product drivers on page 29.
