How LRC assistants log into the reception desk computers

  1. Let the computer finish its startup tasks:
    1. Browsers: both internet Explorer and Firefox will open on relevant pages, since you and your client will have to work in different browsers, ensuring that both your and your client can be logged into different NINERNET accounts.
    2. Excel will load a checkin.xlsm. In Excel, under the ribbon, press button:"Enable content". Use this to generate codes that you can paste into users"’ meeting requests when they check in and out LRC equipment. The spreadsheet will not save the codes since your computer is frozen.
    3. A program called bginfo will analyze the computer settings and display the results on the desktop
    4. ZoomIt: press “ok” on the startup dialogue. You can now press CTRL-2 (thanks Ashley) and drag the left mouse button (ESC to stop) to paint on screen to communicate with client across mirrored screens, and vice versa.
  2. Do you have a client at the counter?
      1. yes: press CTRL-ALT-F10 to clone/mirror (= show the same screen on) both monitors. You can now collaborate with the client using a computer (e.g. in OWA or in a database)
      2. no client: press CTRL-ALT-F11  to extend the desktop. You can now display an informational window on the LRC-facing monitor, while working on your own monitor in privacy.
      3. The reception computers use Deepfreeze. You cannot save information on reception desk computers between reboots.
        1. All personal information you want to save needs to go to your H: drive.
        2. All information you want to share with LRC staff needs to go into LRC Moodle site, UNCC-LRC website or NINERMAIL.
