This is how I fill my day.

There is now a computer installed permanently in the main conference room to be used for presentations.  This will eliminate the need to connect a laptop for each presentation.  How do you use it?  Follow these easy steps:

 

• Turn on the power to the media system (blue arrow in picture below)
• 
• Select the computer as the source (green arrow in picture above)
• Get out the wireless keyboard and mouse located in the first cabinet closest to the door
• Moving the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard should wake up the computer and send signals to the screen.  If the screen remains blank:
• Verify that the screen is on, the light on the lower right corner of the screen should be green
• Verify that the computer is on, the computer is located under the conference table and there should be a green light near the middle of the face plate.
• Verify that the wireless keyboard and mouse are working:
• The wireless transmitter next to the spider phone should have a green light like this
• 
• The mouse should be emitting a red light from underneath
• The keyboard should have a green light in the upper right corner.
• If one of these is not working it may be possible to reconnect the devices:
• Press the connect button on the wireless transmitter
• On the bottom of the keyboard and mouse press the red connect buttons (the mouse will require a paper clip or pen to reach the button)
• 
  
• If reconnecting doesn’t seem to work it may be necessary to replace the batteries in one or both of the devices
• Log in as you normally would:
• Username: lastname firstinitial
• Password: your normal password
• Log on to: NA
• If the computer is locked by another user you will need to find that user or me or call the helpdesk (202-530-4890) to unlock the computer (alternative method: manually turning off and restarting the computer)
• If this is the first time you have used the computer it may be very slow for the first 5-10 minutes as the computer creates your local computer profile.
• When you are finished be sure to shut down or restart the computer.
• Be sure to return the wireless keyboard and mouse to the cabinet.
