Electronic Classroom

Opening the classroom:

  1. After unlocking the door, go directly to the alarm panel, near the exit sign. Key in your access number and press the "on/off" button. You will hear a beeping noise as soon as you open the door. You have 60 seconds between unlocking the door and keying in your access number before the alarm is tripped.

  2. Turn on lights. The switches are located on the wall behind the podium. Both overhead and dimmer lights are available.

  3. Turn on all workstations. They will login automatically without account names or passwords. The cpu's are mounted under the monitors on the student stations. Earphones are provided for each workstation. The cabinet beneath the podium holds the cpu, keyboard, amplifier and vcr for the trainer workstation.

  4. There is a button panel on the podium that controls the projector, screen, vcr and volume.

  5. A cordless lavalier microphone is available. We keep the mic in the side drawer of the podium. Please return it to the drawer after use. Turn on the amplifier located inside the podium, the controls on the amp are already set, switch the mic handset to the "on" position. The volume for the mic is controlled on the button panel.

  6. A cordless mouse will be available in the near future.


Closing the classroom:

  1. Shut down all workstations by going to Start/Shutdown. Do not turn off the cpu until you get the restart screen. Please turn off all monitors.
