Before you turn on your laptop or power up the podium:

• Plug the provided PC/Video cable into the video output (VGA) of your laptop. This may be labeled "external monitor" on some laptops.
• Press "Laptop PC" on the podium touch screen
• Connect your ethernet cable to the "Data" jack on the podium and the ethernet jack on your computer. You must bring your own ethernet cable, there are none in the podiums.
• Turn on the laptop
• For pc: If the screen on your laptop does not appear on the projection screen, hold down the fn key and press the F# Key with the lcd/vga symbol on it. This varies by computer model.
• For mac: Click Apple menu - Control Panels - Monitor, then select the appropriate monitor setting.
• If the projection works, but you do not have internet access, the problem is with your TCP/IP Properties (see below)
  

Windows 95/98

• Right-Click on Network Neighborhood and select "Properties" (if you do not see a "Network Neighborhood" on your desktop, click "Start" --> "Settings" --> "Control Panel" and double-click the "Network" icon.)
• Click the TCP/IP item that specifies Ethernet (not dialup), then click "Properties"
• Write down the information that you see - you may need it later when you return to your office.
• Click "obtain IP address automatically"
• Click OK and exit the network control panel. You will need to reboot at this point. Be sure to follow the startup procedure above.
  

MacOS 9 and earlier

• Click Apple - Control Panels - TCP/IP Settings
• If you need to save your current settings, click on the "File" menu then "Configurations" and click "Duplicate." Name the new settings "Classroom", save it, and click "Make Active".
• Set "Connect" to "Via Ethernet" and "Configure" to "Via DHCP"
• Close the TCP/IP control panel.

If you find that you need to reboot the laptop after changing the TCP/IP Settings, make sure you follow the proper power up order above
