Installing an X-Port 20 Switch in a 2000i
1
Installing an X-Port™ 20 Switch in a 2000i with an NEC VT465 or
VT560 Projector
These instructions show you how to:
•
install an X-Port 20 switch in the
Rear Projection
SMART Board 2000i interactive whiteboard that’s equipped with an NEC VT465 or
VT560 projector
•
connect a guest laptop
The X-Port 20 switch is an RS-232 serial/RGB video switch for connecting a guest laptop to the interactive whiteboard. A user can then
write over the displayed guest laptop image with a pen tray stylus and control the guest laptop by touching the interactive screen. With an
X-Port 20 switch, the user can also toggle between the guest laptop, the resident computer and a VCR/DVD player from the cabinet
Control Panel. If no X-Port 20 switch is installed, the user can only switch between the resident computer and a VCR/DVD player.
1.
Shut down the resident computer. Then press and hold the
Lamp Off
button on the Control Panel for approximately three seconds.
The lamp begins a 60 second cool-down period before powering off. Wait until you hear the projector cooling fan stop (3–4 minutes),
and then unplug the 2000i from the power outlet.
