Connecting a Second Laptop

1. Bring a laptop VGA cable and audio cable to the classroom. Mac users should bring a Mac adapter.
2. Connect one end of the VGA cable to the port on your computer.
3. Connect the other end of cable to the Aux VGA jack on the auxiliary inputs panel.  If sound is needed, connect the audio cable.
4. Depending on your classroom type do one of the following:
   • Large classrooms and auditoriums (80+ seats), touch Aux (Video) Inputs and then VGA - Sound from VGA.  Continue to step 5.
     
   • Small classrooms (20-80 seats), touch Aux Inputs and then VGA.  Continue to step 5.
     
5. Make sure the laptop sound setting is not too low to be heard or muted. If the laptop image does not display, do one of the following:
   • Reboot your laptop.
   • Select the “mirroring”/LCD/CRT button on your laptop.
     The location of this button varies between laptop manufacturers and can be any of the function keys. It may be F3, F5, F7 or F8.  Look for a small square on top of, or next to, a small monitor icon.
6. Operate the laptop.

Note: For your convenience, power outlets are available on the far right side of the auxiliary input panel (see the image below.)

Accessing the Internet

If you need Internet access, but do not have a wireless card, plug your Ethernet cable into the Campus Network port on the auxiliary panel.
