Using the 1-189 Conference PC

If you'd like to take advantage of the PC or the projector located in Building 510 Room 1-189 (STAR Conference Room) then you will need to know the following:

  • You must turn on the projector to see the login panel
    The default screen is the projector, the terminal will not display anything until the primary terminal is on.
  • The conference user password is: talkmeet
  • Upon logging in EVO will automatically start up and login to a special user account for this room. 
  • Use the phone bridge for the audio - it is much clearer and more stable (BNL has an EVO reflector at x6100) - be sure EVO is on mute (default)
  • You can then use the wireless keyboard and mouse to present on the projector, which is permanently attached to the conference PC. 
    Please,  do not disconnect the projector from the conference PC.
  • Please, do not move the camera by hand - the camera control is placed as a shortcut on the desktop
  • You are expected to upload your talks to a Drupal-like agenda and display from the main computer

Firefox, Microsoft Office, and Open Office are also installed for presentation use.
