16 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING SMART RESPONSE
To connect the receiver 1. Position the receiver in an unobstructed location away from other wireless
products, such as 2.4 GHz routers and cordless telephones.
For temporary installations,
place the receiver on top of
your desk.
For permanent installations,
mount the receiver on a wall,
or on the front of a piece of
furniture using two screws
(not provided).
2. Orient the receiver with the long
side or edge facing the class as
shown.
Connect the receiver’s
captive USB cable connector
to an available USB
receptacle on your computer.
On Windows computers, a balloon message appears in the notification area
indicating that new hardware has been detected.
On Mac computers, a balloon message appears indicating that the hardware
is ready to use. The top LED indicator on the receiver turns red to indicate that
it’s receiving power.
IMPORTANT
If the balloon message indicates that Windows is starting to try to locate a driver
from the Microsoft website, stop the search. If Windows can’t find the driver on
your computer, you haven’t installed the SMART Response software. Install the
software and repeat the above procedure.
Extending the USB Cable
If the provided 6' (1.8 m) USB cable attached to the receiver
isn’t long enough, use active USB extender cables, USB
extenders or hubs.
The illustration to the right shows the SMART active USB
extension cable (Part No. USB-XT). In some cases, you may
be able to use up to four cables to extend the length to about
80' (25 m), which is the limit of the USB specification. Passive
USB extension cables aren’t supported.
