Setting Up the Polycom Instructor
RP
8
Connect a guest laptop to the Polycom Instructor
RP
system.
You can connect a guest laptop to the system
whenever you want to show others content on
the laptop, such as slides for a presentation.
In contrast to the internal computer, the guest
laptop can be attached and removed from the
system at any time. It does not have the SMART
or Polycom Instructor Tools software loaded on
it. You cannot use it to annotate or perform other
SMART Board or video conferencing functions.
To connect a guest laptop to the system:
1.
Connect the video (VGA) cable from the
laptop to the video connector on the
Polycom Instructor
RP
system.
2.
If you want audio from the laptop, connect
an audio cable from the laptop to the audio
out connector on the Polycom Instructor
RP
system.
Connect other optional equipment that you plan to use with the system.
To perform this step, refer to the Polycom
Setting
Up the VSX 8000
document or to the
documentation supplied with the equipment you
plan to connect.
You can connect most of the optional equipment
that is shown on the Polycom
Setting Up the
VSX 8000
document. Additional monitors,
however, are not supported.

Note
You cannot connect both an integrated
computer and a guest laptop to the
Polycom Instructor
RP
system at the
same time. If you want to connect an
integrated computer, refer to the previous
step.
Note
If you add a guest laptop 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
