Summary

Learn how to wirelessly connect a notebook or a tablet to the classroom audiovisual system.

Body

If you want to connect your laptop or mobile device to the classroom audiovisual system wirelessly, select the wireless option from system control interface at the front of the room to get started.

The most common wireless option in the classroom is Solstice, but there are also locations with Zoom Room installed (IIES and ECSC).

We recommend downloading the appropriate wireless application on your computer ahead of your class or event.

  4. Enter the IP or name of the pod (if asked) and the 4-digit screen key displayed on the Solstice splash page
