| Classroom Control Management System, XCLASS |
| Which operating systems do XCLASS support? |
Operating System Support: |
| Does the XCLASS Teacher and Student program support running in cross platform operating systems? |
Yes, it is possible. However, it does not guaranteed that the XCLASS program can be run properly under different operating system platform environment |
| Is the XCLASS program required to run with any network server e.g. Novell? |
No. The XCLASS program is not required to run with any network server |
| Will XCLASS program affect your local network traffic and performance? |
All the teacher and student computers are linking up in a LAN environment. When the teacher conducts a lesson in the classroom, a lot of video or audio teaching materials will be sent to students or students will return their class work from teacher. Therefore, it is highly recommended to separate the classroom from the local network, so that the huge volume of packets of data can be restricted within the classroom. By the way, the use of high quality and stabilized switch instead of hub is very important for the connection of teacher and student computers. |
| What kind of network protocol is supported in student and teacher computer for the XCLASS program? | ||||||
Only TCP/IP Protocol is supported.
|
| What is the monitor setting requirement for the XCLASS Teacher and Student program? |

| What is the security and license control for the XCLASS? |
We are using a hardware key for the XCLASS license control that should be attached to the teacher computer's parallel port or USB port when XCLASS Teacher program starts running. |
| How can I fine tune the sound level and adjust the sound card settings for the XCLASS audio functions? |
For properly running the XCLASS audio functions, it is highly recommended to use AC'97 sound chip or Sound Blaster® compatible full duplex sound card and good quality microphones, headsets or speakers for both teacher and students. |
