Each workstation will need ports available for any optional device chosen to use with FocalPoint® Software. These devices and the ports they will need are listed below. Keep in mind that USB ports may already be in use by your mouse and/or keyboard. Additional USB ports can be obtained by using powered USB port expansion hubs. Typically, if you have 6 functioning USB ports, you would have enough ports to accommodate all our optional peripheral devices (providing your mouse and keyboard are PS2 connections, and not USB.)
