3. If you have more than one SMART product connected, select the appropriate interactive whiteboard.
4. Select Orientation/Alignment Settings from the drop-down list.
5. Select the desired orientation setting, and then press OK.
6. Perform an orientation procedure so that the changes take effect. See To orient your interactive
whiteboard on page33.
Connecting a guest laptop
If you want to connect a guest laptop without installing SMART Product Drivers on it, disconnect the USB
cable from your resident computer, and then connect it to the laptop. You’ll immediately have touch
control of your interactive whiteboard. However, you’ll need to connect a video cable between the laptop
and your projector.
NOTES
l With a laptop connected, the Ready light on your interactive whiteboard blinks until you install
SMART Product Drivers. This is normal. See The ready light on page41 for more information about
Ready light states.
l If your interactive whiteboard connects to the resident computer with an RS-232 serial cable or a
wireless Bluetooth connection, you don’t have to disconnect it. The USB cable connection to the
guest laptop overrides the expansion module connection.
You must also install SMART Product Drivers (see page30) on your laptop if you want to use all the features
of the interactive whiteboard.
Connecting multiple interactive products
You can connect more than one interactive product to your computer. For example, you can have two
SMART Board interactive whiteboards connected to one computer and have touch control of each
product.
NOTES
l If you’re using more than one interactive whiteboard, you’ll need a projector for each unit.
l On SMART Board D600 series interactive whiteboards, connection to multiple interactive products
is available in single-user mode only.
After you set up your equipment, configure SMART Product Drivers. Start by deciding how you want the
displays to work together.
