Installing Insight
Before installing Insight, review the requirements and ensure the network and lab computers are
running smoothly. Doing so will prevent problems during installation.
The Insight product CD or download includes the files needed to install the Insight application, as well
an electronic copy of this user guide in .pdf format. Adobe Reader is available on the Insight CD in the
Acrobat folder, or free from the Adobe Web site at: http://www.adobe.com.
Planning the Installation
By taking a few minutes to plan out the teacher installation, the administrator should be able to install
Insight on each computer in two minutes or less. Consider these issues before beginning installation:
Choose a unique teacher channel for each lab
Insight is designed to work with as many as 16,000 different training labs on the same network. It uses
teacher channels to broadcast the contents of a teacher’s computer to student computers on the same
channel. To simplify installation, each lab should have its own unique channel, as well as just one
teacher computer.
If only one Insight lab is on the network, the teacher can choose any number from 1 to 16,000. If there
are multiple Insight labs, each requires its own unique teacher channel number.
Choosing channel 0 as the teacher channel allows the teacher to monitor workstations
assigned to all Insight channels including other teacher workstation actions.
For each lab, choose one teacher computer
Set up one teacher computer per lab. The teacher uses this computer to control all student computers
in the same lab. During installation, specify if the computer is a teacher or student computer.
Configure a valid TCP/IP protocol stack for all student and teacher computers
If the computers are using DHCP, then DHCP must be working properly. The teacher and student
computers should all be on the same IP subnet.
Set all teacher and student computers to the same screen resolution
Although not required, it is recommended that all computers be set to the same physical screen size.
Insight has been tested on 1024x768 and 1280x1024 screen resolutions.
Use good networking hardware and software
If there are problems logging onto computers or copying files over the network, fix these issues before
installing Insight.
Use an enterprise class access point
If the teacher plans on using Insight over a wireless network, it is important to use an enterprise class
access point. Personal home network wireless access points are not robust enough to handle many
connections.
