Chapter 3: USING WiJET.G
3.1Using the WiJET.G in a Meeting
In addition to the obvious convenience with wireless connection, the most important benefit of eliminating the VGA cable in using presentation projectors or monitors is to enable fast handover of the projector or monitor control among multiple meeting participants. The WiJET.G Presentation Session Manager (PSM) provides a simple user interface allowing quick rotation of presentation among multiple presenters. The following simple steps sketch out how a successful WiJET.G Wireless Presentation Meeting unfolds:
1.Copies of the WiJET.G installation CD are kept with the WiJET.G in the meeting room. The meeting host, before the presentations start, identifies the meeting participants who do not yet have the WiJET.G Presentation Session Manger installed on their computers and hands them the installation CDs. The participants can either run PSM from the CDs or install the PSM onto their system. The installation is automatic and does not require rebooting the computer.
2.The meeting host asks all meeting participants to establish a wireless connection to the WiJET.G before the meeting starts. Most participants can accomplish this by clicking just one button. This wireless connection is kept alive throughout the meeting even if only one presenter can use the projector or monitor at a given time. Confirming wireless connections before the meeting starts assures a smooth presentation session.
3.At any given time, by clicking just one button in the PSM, one designated presenter can start the presentation and exclude other presenters from using the projector/monitor.
4.At the click of one button in the PSM, the incumbent presenter yields the floor (the projector/monitor) to another presenter while still maintaining a live wireless link to the WiJET.G.
5.At the click of one button in the PSM, a waiting presenter, owing to the already established wireless link, can instantaneously take over the projector/monitor.
The normal meeting etiquettes have to be followed to determine how the control of the projector/monitor should be rotated among presenters. The WiJET.G and its PSM make the rotation easy and quick and thereby make the meeting dynamic.
3.2Starting the WiJET.G
When the WiJET.G is first turned on, a boot up sequence will follow. After about 30 seconds, the WiJET.G will display the following graphic (Figure 3.1) with a few informative messages.
