Installing computer 2 connection
You can install cabling that enables you to connect a second computer to your interactive flat panel
from another location in the room, such as on a conference table. By installing this connection, you
make use of connection points that might not be accessible when your interactive flat panel is
wall-mounted.
You require a USB cable and a VGA cable to install the computer 2 connection. You may install these
cables and run them through floors or walls to a nearby table.
Alternatively, your users can connect a laptop to the side terminal panel using the more accessible
USB receptacle and HDMI input. For more information, see Connecting a guest laptop on page 47.
For a diagram of the various computer options, see Connecting computers to your interactive flat
panel on page 16.
W A R N I N G
Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to your SMART product are properly bundled and
marked to avoid a trip hazard.
