Network Settings
This is primarily used for setting the Network transport that the Control will use for communicating with the Clients.
It must be the same as that set at the Clients. You can also set the name and description for the Tutor.
Tutor Identification
Use these options to personalize the Tutor machines configuration.
Name
This is the name by which the Tutor will be known on the network. Setting it to an asterisk defaults to the machine
or Computer Name.
Description
This is used to provide a description for the Tutor program itself. This is displayed in the Title bar of the Client
program.
TCP/IP Settings
Connect by Hostname (DHCP/WINS Networks)
Normally the Control connects to a Client by IP Address, rather than by name. In an environment that uses DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), this may be undesirable as the address may change when the Client
workstation is restarted. Checking this option forces the Control to connect by hostname.
Port
The TCP/IP protocol requires that a port number be allocated for applications to communicate through. The default
registered port for HP Classroom Manager is 5405.
Note: If you are using Routers, you must ensure that they are configured to pass through data using this port.
Use Name & Connectivity Server (Gateway)
Enable this option if you want to search for Students whose IP addresses are registered with a defined Name
Server/Gateway. The currently configured browse at Start-up option will still apply but rather than perform a UDP
browse of the network, the Tutor program will search the Name Server for Students matching the specified criteria.
Click Settings and enter the IP address of the Name Server/Gateway along with the matching security key.
Browsing
Subnets used when browsing for students
When you are running on a network with multiple subnets or addresses, you need to configure the Broadcast
Addresses for each effective network. When a Browse is performed, the broadcast messages are sent to these
addresses.
