Multiple Network Adapters; Teacher Channel - FARONICS INSIGHT Manual

Multiple Network Adapters

Specify Network Interface Card
Some computers have more than one Network Interface Card (NIC) and/or multiple IP addresses (e.g.
a router). These may be virtual or wireless network adapters.
Insight always uses the first NIC, but that is not always the desired NIC or network. Use this check box
to specify which NIC to use.
If the teacher computer has multiple real or virtual network adapters, specify the adapter that Insight
should use.

Teacher Channel

Insight is designed to work with as many as 16,000 different training labs on the same network. It uses
teacher channels to broadcast the contents of a teacher's computer to student computers on the same
channel. To simplify installation, each lab should have its own unique channel, as well as just one
teacher computer.
If only one Insight lab is on the network, the teacher can choose any number from 1 to 16,000. If there
are multiple Insight labs, each requires its own unique teacher channel number.
This feature is normally disabled to prevent an accidental change to the channel number. Even though
the option is greyed out, it still displays the Teacher Channel configured for this machine.
There is a free utility called EnableChannelSelect.exe that is available in the Utilities directory on the
CD-ROM.
If the Teacher Channel needs to be changed, this utility enables the channel number selector.
EnableChannelSelect.exe TRUE
EnableChannelSelect.exe FALSE
Choosing channel 0 as the teacher channel allows the teacher to monitor workstations
assigned to all Insight channels.
