The X-Port 20 unit is an RS-232 serial switch for connecting a laptop to the interactive
whiteboard. A user can then write over the displayed laptop image with a pen tray stylus and
control the laptop by touching the interactive screen. With an X-Port 20 unit, the user can also
switch between the laptop, the resident computer and a VCR/DVD player from the Control Panel

grounded object.
