Connecting computer 2

You can connect a second laptop to the installed USB cable and video cable that is connected to the

back terminal panel of your interactive flat panel. If those cables aren't installed, connect the laptop to

the side terminal panel (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.

The laptop must have SMART Product Drivers installed. If it doesn’t, you need to connect the

laptop to the interactive flat panel using a SMART GoWire cable. If you purchased an

SBID8055i-SMP or SBID8055ie-SMP model, you can use the supplied SMART GoWire cable to

connect your laptop to the interactive flat panel. For more information, see Using a SMART GoWire

cable on page 48.
