17 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING SMART RESPONSE
NOTE
Some computers use internal active hubs to provide more USB receptacles. The
computer’s operating system may see these internal hubs as external devices,
limiting the number of USB extenders you can use.
Alternately, USB extenders that use Cat 5 cabling can
extend the range to approximately 325' (100 m), at a
much higher cost. The more economical SMART USB
extender pair (Part No. CAT5-XT) can extend the USB
connection up to 12' (36.6 m) on Windows computers or
90’ (27.5 m) on Mac computers using an RJ45 Cat 5
cable.
These units require that you use the provided 6’ (1.8 m) cables or use cables and
connectors that meet the same specifications. Impedance mismatches and poor
connections can cause signal degradation and performance problems. USB hubs
should also work with receivers. If you also use streaming audio through a shared
USB hub, the receiver’s performance might become intermittent or otherwise
unacceptable.
USB extenders and hubs must be USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 compliant to work
correctly. They must also provide at least 100 mA to the receiver.
Naming Your Classroom
NOTE
You’re unable to assign a classroom name while installing SMART Response.
You can create a classroom name only after SMART Response is installed, and
Teacher Tools starts for the first time.
To name the classroom 1. Click the SMART Response icon in the Windows notification area or menu bar,
and then click Teacher Tools.
2. Click Next.
The Classroom Information dialog box appears.
3. Type a classroom name between one and eight characters, and then click Start.
NOTE
The Start button enables only after you’ve typed in your classroom name.
A dialog box appears indicating that SMART Response is not ready, that there is
no receiver plugged in, or that you can use SMART Response in Anonymous
mode if the receiver is connected.
