Logitech remote USB dongle - hidden or in plain view?

 

The Logitech PowerPoint remote only works when its receiver (also known as a dongle or fob) is seated in a correctly connected USB port.

Receivers are most visible at the podium’s “clamshell” hub, or protruding from the side edge of an older-model Wacom monitor.

Logitech remote receivers are less visible when plugged into the front of a podium-installed computer (roughly at knee-level)

or into a port behind the newer model Wacom monitor screen.

Unless a presenter using their own laptop computer connects with their own remote,

an LSA-TS provided remote with a hidden receiver is often reported as “not working” - or the receiver described as “missing”.

Sometimes presenter remote receivers are totally concealed when parked in a USB port at the back of the podium-installed computer,

and therefore only accessible to technicians who raise the podium, unlock and remove the hatch, and work around whatever else has been packed into the podium.

Technicians find Logitech presenter remote receivers erroneously lodged in the darndest USB ports.

These include the Cynap wireless device...
