Connecting the Components
The procedure for connecting the pen tray to your computer varies, depending on whether you’re
connecting the pen tray to a USB or serial port on your computer. Your In-Wall
Rear Projection
SMART Board interactive whiteboard comes with a SMART USB adapter cable that connects to
the USB port on your computer. However, you can order an optional DB9-to-DB9 serial cable if
you need to connect to a serial port on your computer.
If you’ve placed your computer in the projection room behind the In-Wall
Rear Projection
SMART
Board interactive whiteboard, you can slide the SMART USB adapter cable and the PS/2 cable
through the cable opening to the computer. However, if you’ve placed the computer in the same
room as the screen, run the cables between the pen tray and the computer so no one will step on
them.
Your In-Wall
Rear Projection
SMART Board interactive whiteboard comes with a wireless
keyboard that includes a trackball mouse, as well as an IR receiver and the cable that you connect
to your computer. Of course, you can connect and use your own keyboard and mouse.
As well, you can extend the serial end of the USB cable (or the serial cable) by using a serial
extension cable (not supplied). For the wireless keyboard, you can extend the PS/2 cable by using
two 6' (1.8 m) extension cables.
1. Connect the USB adapter to a USB port on the computer. You previously connected the other
end of this adapter when you mounted your pen tray to the wall (page 13).
CAUTION
Don’t connect the SMART USB adapter cable to the computer until after you’ve
installed SMART Board software.
If you do this by accident, the
Found New Hardware
wizard appears. Click the
Cancel
button in the wizard, and then unplug the SMART USB adapter cable from
the computer. Next, install SMART Board software (version 8.1.3 or later), and then
reconnect the cable.
