To install the USB driver
1. Click Next to direct the wizard to search for an appropriate driver.
2. Click Next again to direct your computer’s operating system to search the driver database on your
hard drive for the appropriate driver.
NOTE
If the Windows operating system doesn’t find the correct driver, insert the Windows CD in your CD
drive, and then install a USB HID driver. Because USB HID is a subclass of USB devices, the drivers
aren’t always included in a default installation. You must install these drivers on your computer
before the included USB cable will work properly.
3. Click Finish after the driver search or driver installation finishes.
The Ready light turns red and then flashes green, indicating that the controller is receiving power from
the USB connection and is operating in HID mouse mode.
Installing SMART software
You must install SMART software on the computer connected to your interactive whiteboard system to
access all of its features.
Download SMART software from smarttech.com/software. These pages list the minimum hardware
requirements for each software version. If SMART software is already installed on your computer, take this
opportunity to upgrade your software to ensure compatibility.
USB extender cables and hubs
The 16' 5" (5 m) USB cable included with your interactive whiteboard conforms to the USB 2.0 standard for
maximum length. If the included USB cable isn’t long enough, use active USB extender cables, USB
extenders or hubs to extend the connection.
