Using a SMARTGoWire cable
Any computer connected to your interactive flat panel requires SMART software. Typically, you
install this software on your room computer so that it’s always ready to use.
However, if you want to connect a laptop that doesn’t have SMARTsoftware installed, you can
connect a SMARTGoWire cable from the laptop to the USB cable for your interactive flat panel. The
SMARTGoWire cable enables you to have touch control of your laptop and use SMARTMeetingPro
software without installing the software on your laptop.
SMARTBoard 8070i-SMP interactive flat panels include a SMARTGoWire cable. Additional
SMARTGoWire cables can be purchased from your authorized SMART reseller
(smarttech.com/where).

Your interactive flat panel supports the SMARTGoWire cable with SMARTMeetingPro software
only. It does not support the SMARTGoWire cable with SMARTNotebook software.
g To use a SMARTGoWire cable
1. Connect a video cable from your interactive flat panel to your laptop.
2. Connect the USB cable from the USB receptacle on your interactive flat panel to your laptop.
3. Change the video input to your laptop's video connection using the remote control or the front
control panel.
4. Disconnect the USB cable from your laptop, and then connect it to the SMARTGoWire cable’s
USB A receptacle.

If the SMARTGoWire cable is not connected to your interactive flat panel through a USB
cable, you have access to SMARTMeetingPro software on your laptop for five minutes, and
then the software closes.
5. Connect the SMARTGoWire cable’s USB connector to your laptop.
