software loaded on it. You can use it to show 

content (such as a slide presentation), but you 

cannot use it to annotate or perform other 

SMART Board and video conferencing functions.

To connect an integrated computer to the system:

1.

Find the tie-wrapped bundle of cables in the 

back of the Polycom Instructor 

RP

 system. 

One end of this cable bundle is already 

connected to the system. 

2.

Connect the video cable to the monitor video 

connector on the computer.

3.

If you want audio from the computer, 

connect the audio cable to the audio out 

connector on the computer.

4.

Connect the serial cable to an available serial 

connector on the computer.

5.

If you have a separate printer for the 

computer, connect the printer cable to the 

25-pin parallel port (printer connector) on 

the computer.

6.

Connect the network cable to the network 

card on the computer.

7.

Find the mouse and keyboard cable bundle 

in the back of the Polycom Instructor 

RP

 

system. One end of this cable bundle is 

already connected to the system.

8.

Connect the mouse cable to the mouse port 

on the computer.

9.

Connect the keyboard cable to the keyboard 

port on the computer.

10.

Connect the power cord to the power 

connector on the computer.

Note

You cannot connect both an integrated 
computer and a guest laptop to the 
Polycom Instructor 

RP

 at the same time. 

If you want to connect a guest laptop, 
skip this step and go to step 5.

Note

If you add an integrated computer to the 
system at a later time, you may need to 
recalibrate the touch screen. For 
information on how to do this, refer to 

Calibrate the Annotation Box
