How to override a Projector control out of synch with the Classroom projector

  1. When the projector control system is “out of synch”with the projector.
  2. Symptom: “System off” does not turn the projector off, but also “System on”  does not turn.
  3. Workaround: From the control panel Home screen, access soft button “system tools”CIMG0002 
  4. Here you can manually turn the projector on/off  (and the close the screens)CIMG0001

Logging off fails on teacher station?

  1. Symptoms: Cannot log off.
  2. Diagnostics:
    1. Not even after taskkilling so far (got to around “S” in process name initials)). CIMG0003 - Copy
    2. When did this behavior first manifest itself? This week? MS-Office 2010 upgrade? Novell upgrade?
  3. Workaround: Current best workaround is power-cycling the computer.
  4. Solution: Problem seems to have disappeared. Cause and resolution unclear, though.

How to book LRC resources – explained in one screenshot

2011/12/02 3 comments

You can come to the LRC reception desk to book an item  (you will still need to log into your NINERMAIL). But you can also self-help, and get immediate confirmation, from any device with access to your NINERMAIL:

If you have a basic LRC classroom booking scenario, send to the room lrcroomcoed434@uncc.edu what looks like “an email that includes times”: Go to your Ninermail inbox.  Using the little triangle icon,  unfold the “New” menu.  Click menu item “Meeting request”.  In the window, that opens, in the “Resources:” field, put lrcroomcoed434@uncc.edu.  In the “Subject:”, put your course number. Enter start and end times of your classes visit.  In the upper left, Click “Send”.  Within a few seconds  you receive a response email from the room in OWA: If you did not check the “Scheduling Assistant” tab, you may be asked to reschedule because of a conflict. If you fail to get a response,  something went wrong, did you mistype the address? OWA remembers and suggests it after first use, but the first time you need to get it right.

For more advanced scenarios (beyond #3 below), first find the email address of our bookable resources, then book it like so:
