Using the Classroom Equipment

The classroom computer on the instructor’s desk is connected to the Internet and Ross network (including private files and network folders) via an Ethernet connection. Login is required with a uniqname and password.
 

To project a laptop: Connect the cable in the instructor’s desk to the display port and use the Crestron touch screen control to select the laptop display. Most laptops require a keyboard command, such as Function + F8, to send the display signal through the display cable. The keyboard command will vary by laptop make and model.
