Connection Panel - SMART Board 3000i Installation Manual

Connection Panel

The Connection Panel allows you to make a variety of external connections to the 3000i
cabinet:
• A printer (1), dedicated to the internal computer
• A network (2), making the full resources of the network available to the internal
computer
• An external projector (3), allowing projection of the internal computer or guest laptop
(RGB output only) onto an auditorium-sized display for presentation to a large group
• A guest laptop (5, 6 and 9). Press the Guest Laptop button on the Control Panel to
display the guest laptop input on the interactive whiteboard. If the SMART Board
driver is installed, you can control the laptop by touching the board.
NOTE: You can only connect to a guest laptop if you have installed the optional Guest
Laptop Support kit.
• An external sound system (8), allowing audio rebroadcast to the room's sound
system. The external sound system is then controlled by the Volume buttons on the
Control Panel.
