SMART Technologies 800 User Manual

Extending the USB with a bus-powered (active)
extension cable

You can use the USB-XT extension cable to extend the 16' (5 m) USB A to mini-B cable included with

your interactive whiteboard system.

I M P O R T A N T

Connect your USB cables or extenders to the USB1

receptacle on the interactive whiteboard’s

extended control panel (ECP) module. Do not use the USB2

receptacle.

N O T E S

You can connect the USB cable or extender to the SMART Board 800 series interactive

whiteboard system’s ECP module using the included USB A to mini-B cable or using a

standard USB cable with the mini-USB to USB adapter included with your system.

SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard systems have a USB hub integrated into

the ECP module and are therefore compound devices. See USB topology on page 17.
