Connecting a Laptop to Your ActivPanel 

 

To connect your laptop to your ActivPanel, begin with either a VGA or HDMI cable and a USB cable. The VGA or 
HDMI enables a visual connection, while the USB cable enables touch. 

 

Ports on your ActivPanel are clearly labeled. 

 

 

 

If you are connecting a Mac to your ActivPanel using a VGA cable, you may need an additional adapter or 
dongle. You may also require an audio cable. 

 

 

 

You will find additional ports on the back of your ActivPanel. When facing the panel, they are on the left side.
