iSchool Classroom, LIS 12A

Room 12a in 501 E. Daniel Street is in the basement and serves as a classroom and meeting room.

 

Control Panel

 

Rooms 12A, 46, 131 and 242

These rooms have standard control panels with six command buttons.

  • Power: Turns on and off the systems for the projector.
  • Mute: Pauses the projection.

  • Volume: Controls the volume of the room speakers. (Please adjust the volume on built-in computer or laptop first.) 

  • PC: This enables you to project the built-in computer to the television screens. This is the optimal way to use these rooms. If you have a guest joining online, please use this setting. You can also join the same meeting on your laptop (muting your laptop's speakers and mic) for ease and comfort, but be sure the built-in computer is handling sound. 

  • HDMI 2: This enables you to project a laptop screen via an HDMI cable. 

  • VIDEO: This will give you the same options as PC (in rooms with Solstice capabilities this will be the setting you will need to use).
  • VGA: This will give you the same options as PC.

Room 12A, 46, 131, and 242 Control Panels

Rooms 53 and 126

These are irregular control panels. 

Room 53

The control panel in this room can be found within the black cage on top of the desk in the South-West corner. The cage is not locked, but you may need to turn the buttons to select Built-in, HDMI, or Solstice.

Room 53 control buttons

Room 126

The control panel in this room is touch screen. It is located beneath the computer, built in the desk. The touch screen will take a moment or two for it to register your touch; so the key is to give it a few seconds if it doesn't automatically respond.

Tip: every time the system is powered on, the button Room Mic Mute, will be orange, indicating that it is muted. Just pressing the orange button will un-mute it and turn the button blue.

Room 126 control panel

Here is the main screen. To turn on the projector, press the Power button in the upper left side. This should turn on both sets of projectors and screens. Please do not manually pull down the projector screens. If only one of the projector and screens turn on, please press the buttons below power that relate to which screen did not come down. If the screen closest to you did not automatically lower, please press Screen A/B down. Then to turn on the projector, press Dual Projection that can be found on the main touch screen.

 

Using the Built-in Computer

 

Using the built-in computer is the normally optimal way to use our conference rooms, especially for Zoom calls as only the built-in computer connects to the built-microphone and cameras. However, rooms 126 and 43 are both outfitted to avoid this issue. Many people prefer to use their own laptops to navigate, so it'll be good practice to recommend them these rooms when we can.

  1. Follow the instructions on How to use the control panel (Room 4035, 4165, 5116)How to use the control panel (Multi-Purpose Room), or How to use the control panel (Room 12A, 46, 53, 126 and 131).
  2. Use the keyboard and mouse located on top of the cabinet or on the conference room table to control the built-in computer. 
    1. These may be turned off. You can turn them back on using the power switches.
    2. These do have a range, so if they work close to the receiver but not elsewhere in the room, you might be out of range.
    3. If you cannot locate these items or suspect the batteries are low, check with the Help Desk.
  3. Log in using your NetID and password. Guests will not be able to log into these computers.

 

Clicker

 

Note: Our laser pointers can also be used as clickers to navigate slideshow presentations.

Clicker Instructions

  1. Remove the USB device from the clicker–it should be located on the back of the clicker near the top.

  2. Insert the USB device into the computer you would like to present from.

  3. Navigate to the slideshow you would like to present and open it (you can also press the yellow F5/Esc button on the clicker to start the presentation).

  4. Use the arrow keys on the clicker to navigate the slideshow.

Troubleshooting

If a clicker is not working, check that:

  • The USB connector is plugged into the computer using the clicker.
  • The clicker is turned on.
  • The batteries are not dead. (Try out the laser pointer function on the clicker to confirm.)
  • The slideshow is active window on the computer using the clicker. If a person is presenting in PowerPoint, then switches to another window, the clicker will not advance the slides until they make the slideshow the active window by clicking inside PowerPoint. This is a particularly common issue for hybrid presentations, when a presenter may be switching between PowerPoint and Zoom.

Additional Images and Information

This room contains a built-in Macintosh computer capable of running a bootstrapped emulation of Windows. Using the built-in computer is the optimal way to use this space.

If you prefer to use a laptop, the best way to do this is by using the HDMI cable and the attached dongle, if you need to adapt the port for your device. After attaching the HDMI cable to your device, change the display input on the wall-mounted console from "PC" to "HDMI". The selected input button will glow slightly.

This room does not have the option of connecting wirelessly via Solstice.
