Client Power Off

HP Classroom Manager uses the Advanced Power Management (APM) features of the Windows operating system (where supported), to provide Client power down capabilities. APM relies on the Client workstation having an ATX motherboard and ATX power supply.

A Control can remotely Power Off a Client workstation using the HP Classroom Manager Power Management function.

Click the Manage icon drop down arrow on the Control toolbar and select Power Off. Or

If displayed, click the Power Off icon on the toolbar.

Finding and Connecting to Students

The Control Configuration dialog is used to specify how the Control connects to Clients at Startup. You can:

∙Browse the Network and Connect to Clients with a specific name.

∙Connect to a Known List of Clients.

∙Connect to Clients in a specific room.

∙Create a „class‟ and enable Clients to connect to it.

Notes:

∙If the expected Clients are not found it may be because HP Classroom Manager has not been configured to browse the required Networks. See Configuring HP Classroom Manager For Subnet Browsing for more information.

∙If a 'Name Server/Gateway' has been configured, the Tutor program will use the details registered here rather than perform a browse across the network.

To Browse and connect to Clients

1.Select {School}{Configuration} from the Control window drop down menu.

2.Select Student Selection.

3.Click in the “Browse and Connect to Students starting with” box.

4.Enter the first few characters of the Client names that you want to connect to. For example, entering Class1 would connect to all workstations whose Client name started with Class1. e.g. Class1_Wk1, Class1_Wk2 etc.

5.Click Ok.

6.Click Yes to re-initialize the Control Configurator.

7.The Control will connect to all Clients found and display their icons in the Control window. These Clients have now been added to the Known Client list.
