Connecting With A Usb Cable; To Connect Using A Usb Cable - SMART Board Board 600 Series Installation And User Manual

Connecting with a USB Cable

SMART Board 600 series interactive whiteboards have a
high-power USB 2.0 full-speed peripheral interface that runs
at speeds of up to 12 Mbps. The unit works with USB 2.0-
and USB 1.1-compliant USB interfaces.
The interactive whiteboard's main USB connection is a
captive flying lead cable. The connector is a USB Type-B
receptacle.
This cable provides convenient access to the USB
receptacle without having to remove the interactive
whiteboard from the wall. You can also place the flying lead
and the USB cable in the channel on the back of the
interactive whiteboard where it won't be visible.

To connect using a USB cable

1. Connect a USB cable to the USB flying lead cable
behind the lower-right corner of the interactive
whiteboard.
NOTE: You must apply approximately 10 oz. (300 g) of
downward pressure to unplug a USB cable from the
flying lead USB receptacle. Because an entire 16' (5 m)
USB cable weighs approximately 7 oz. (200 g), there is
no need to tape or otherwise secure the USB cable to
the flying lead. This design ensures that if someone trips
on the cable it will simply disconnect rather than cause
injury or damage to the controller module.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable in to a USB
receptacle on your computer.
– If you are using a Mac computer (with OS X operating system), 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, you can skip to
the next page to install SMART Board software.
– If the appropriate driver isn't installed, a Found New Hardware wizard helps you locate the
driver for the newly connected USB Human Interface Device, or HID (the interactive
whiteboard).
To install the USB driver (Windows only)
1. Click the Next button to direct the wizard to search for an appropriate driver.
2. Click Next again to have the Windows operating system search the driver database on your
hard drive for the appropriate driver.
NOTE: If the Windows operating system fails to find the correct driver, insert the Windows 98/
2000/Me/XP CD in your CD drive and install a USB HID driver. USB HID is a subclass of USB
devices, and the drivers are not always included in a default installation. Computers must have
these drivers before a USB cable will work properly.
3. Click the Finish button after the driver search or driver installation is complete.
The Ready light now turns red and then flashes green, indicating that the controller is
receiving power from the USB connection and is operating in HID Mouse mode.
