Wireless Performance
5 Slow Show and File Distribution Performance in a Wireless Classroom
For a wireless environment, it is recommended that both of the options within the Performance section of the Tutor settings
are selected:
Colour reduction The view window, thumbnails and the teachers screen when broadcast can be restricted to 256
colours (High, Medium or Low quality).
Low bandwidth mode - The number of video frames transferred will be reduced to around 5 per second.
These options can be found in the Tutor console. To configure them follow the below:
Use Broadcast When broadcasting the teachers screen or distributing files to multiple students, enabling this
option will result in the screen data or files being sent to all machines simultaneously.
Use Multicast: Show and File Distribution can be sent using multicast instead of UDP/broadcast. This means that the
multicast packet will only be sent to machines included in the specified IP multicast address.
Use Broadcast
Use Multicast
5. Click {Ok}
5.7 Wireless Threshold applied
Performance can further be enhanced by reducing the speed that the Tutor console sends data onto the network to match
the speed that the wireless access point can deliver the data.
Sending data onto the network too quickly may result in packets being lost, which will result in the students requesting the
data again and additional traffic being produced on the network.
For a wireless environment, it is recommended that the following options are set:
Wireless Network Select this option to optimise Intel Education Classroom Management for best performance in a
wireless environment.
Maximum Throughput This option provides the ability to fine tune the speed that the Tutor console sends data to the
connected student devices.
When configuring Intel Education Classroom Management for use in a wireless classroom, consideration should be given to
the number of student computers that will be connected to the access point at any one time. Due to the nature of wireless
networking, only one device at a time can send and receive data through the access point, so performance will reduce as the
number of students increases.
For a typical class of 30 students, we recommend starting with the default Maximum Throughput value of 8 Mbps. However,
depending on the actual performance of your wireless network and whether the teachers device is connected to the
network using a cable (which will result in better performance), this value could be increased to match the faster network
speed or decreased accordingly until the optimal settings are found.
IEEE 802.11 Protocol Data Rate (Maximum) Suggested Maximum Throughput value
802.11a 54 Mbps 8 Mpbs
802.11b 11 Mbps 6 Mpbs
802.11g 54 Mbps 8 Mpbs
802.11n 600 Mbps 12 Mpbs
Wi-Fi scanning tools cannot detect such interference; therefore you will need to take this into consideration.
For wireless access points using the 2.4 GHz frequency band, it is also possible to specify a channel ranging between 1 and
14.
The diagram above depicts a spectrum analyser view of the frequency space occupied by these 14 channels. Within the 2.4
GHz band, only three channels have non-overlapping frequency space: channels 1, 6 and 11.
Please note: In the United States, only channels 1 to 11 can be used and in Europe, the Middle East and Africa only
channels 1 to 13. For other countries, please refer to the manufacturers guidelines or check with your local regulatory
authority.
When deploying wireless access points, wherever possible you should ensure that there are no other access points in close
proximity using the same or an overlapping channel.
This type of tool will allow you to detect nearby wireless networks, confirm the different channels these are using and
determine which wireless channels may be the least congested.
Using this information, you can then select the best wireless channel for your wireless access point to broadcast on.
In order to change the wireless channel utilised by your wireless access point, please consult the manufacturers instructions.

From this more it is possible to determine whether the Student machines are logged on and active.
Confirm whether the Tutor Console then detects the Website and application as running on the machine.
When the Student logs onto a machine, by default there will be two runplugin.exe processes shown as running. One under
the System account and one under the User account.
Please contact your network administrator to confirm whether there are any policies or third party Student restrictions to
the Student that could prevent the runplugin.exe from running.

13 Student not reconnecting
The reason for this is that the Student will use two different methods to reconnect to the Tutor Console depending on
whether this is using an NCS or not.
To check whether the Student is configured to use an NCS please follow the below steps on the Student:
6) On a machine with the Student Configurator installed go to Start Programs Intel Education Software Intel
Education Classroom Management Configurator
7) Once the Intel Education Classroom Management Configurator is open select the Network settings option
8) Confirm whether the Use Name & Connectivity option settings has been enabled
If this option is enabled than the Student is using the Name and Connectivity Server, if this is disabled then they are not
using the Name and Connectivity Server.
[IP Address] is the IP address of the Tutor machine you want to check connectivity too.
13.5 Ping test success
If the network connection is available between the Tutor and Student machine a reply will be received from the Tutor.
[IP ADDRESS] is the IP address of the Tutor that you wish to check is available.
3) This will start a tenet session
Using the IP address details from both machines confirm whether they are located on the same Subnet
[TCPIP]
Broadcast_1=xxx.xxx.xxx.255
When no Broadcast Address ranges are added to the Students configuration file, by default this will send a Broadcast to its
local subnet to find a Tutor on the local subnet that is started with a matching Room name.
[TCPIP]
Broadcast_1=xxx.xxx.xxx.255
Broadcast_2=xxx.xxx.xxx.255
Note : Where Broadcast_# is a separate entry for each subnet you wish to browse.
5. Once you have removed all of the broadcast addresses you will need to re-checksum the Client32.ini file. For
instructions on how to do this, please use the link below:
[TCPIP]
Broadcast_1=xxx.xxx.xxx.255
[TCPIP]
Broadcast_1=xxx.xxx.xxx.255
Broadcast_2=xxx.xxx.xxx.255
Note: Where Broadcast_# is a separate entry for each subnet you wish to browse. Please note that it will be
necessary to also add the local subnet in this list.
5. Once you have added all subnets, you will need to re-checksum the Client32.ini file. For instructions on how to do
this, please use the link below
By configuring the Protocol Analyser to monitor incoming packets you can confirm whether the Tutor is receiving the UDP
Packets broadcasted by the Student when this attempts to reconnect.
Check the Protocol Analyser at the Tutor machine at this point to see if this receives any UDP packets from the Student PC.
If this does not then UDP between the Student and Tutor PC is blocked.
13.19 UDP is Blocked either change network configuration or use Name and Connectivity Server.
Contact your Network Administrator to request for changes to be made to allow Tutor to receive UDP packets from the
Students.
Alternatively review the Name and Connectivity Server environment available within Intel Education Classroom
Management
NCS Reconnect guide
14 NCS Reconnect
The Services tab displays a list of all of the Tutor Console machines that are currently connected to the Name and
Connectivity Server and available for connections.
Check Tutor Console is configured to currently use the Name and Connectivity Server
To check whether the Tutor is using a Name and Connectivity Server to connect the Student machines within its classroom
please follow the below steps on the Tutor Console:
If this option is enabled than the Tutor is using the Name and Connectivity Server, if this is disabled then they are not using
the Name and Connectivity Server.
14.4 Room names match
The Student component will only reconnect to a Tutor Console with the same room name, please ensure that the room
names configured on both the Student and Tutor Console match.
There are a few different methods to check the Room name of the Student PC I have placed steps on each of these below:
3) In the System tray place the Mouse over the Student Icon
4) Mouse over tip will display the Student Room name
Or
5) Open the Student Configurator on the machine - go to Start Programs Intel Education Software Intel
Education Classroom Management Configurator
6) Once the Intel Education Classroom Management Configurator is open select the Room option
The Tutor is visible on the Name and Connectivity Server Services tab
The Student is visible on the Clients tab
To check whether there is a physical network connection between the Student and Tutor machine you can perform a PING
test from the Student to the Tutor machine. See steps below for details on the using Ping to test network connectivity:
[IP Address] is the IP address of the Tutor machine you want to check connectivity too.
[IP ADDRESS] is the IP address of the Tutor that you wish to check is available.

15.1 Has the Tutor previously connected to the Students for the current session
In order for a Student PC to Auto-reconnect to a Tutor PC the Student must have previously been
connected to the Tutors current session.
Each time the Tutor Console is started this will create a new Session ID the Students connecting to
the Tutor will receive the Session ID when the Tutor connects to them. Only Students with a
matching Session ID will be able to Auto-reconnect to the Tutor PC.
For example if you start the Tutor Console and connect to your Students PCs and then one of the
Student PCs restarts this will be allowed to Auto-reconnect back to the Tutor when the Student PC
starts up as this will having a matching Session ID to the Tutor.
However if you start the Tutor Console and connect to your Students PCs and then a Student PC was
restarted and but while this Student was restarting the Tutor console was closed and reopened then
the Student PC would not be allowed to reconnect at start-up.
The reason for this is that the Student would no longer have a matching session ID and so the Tutor
would not allow this to reconnect.
This behaviour has been included to ensure that only Students PC from the Tutors current session
can connect, to prevent Students PC from a previous class from auto reconnecting to the Tutor.
[IP Address] is the IP address of the Tutor machine you want to check connectivity to.
If the network connection is available between the Tutor and Student machine a reply will be
received from the Tutor.
Contact your Network Administrator to review the network connection between the Student and
Tutor PCs
To confirm whether the Tutor is visible to the Student you can perform a test using Telnet from the
Tutor machine, see steps below:
[IP ADDRESS] is the IP address of the Tutor that you wish to check is available.
3) This will start a tenet session
To confirm if the Tutor with a matching room name is visible to the Student then the in the telnet
session at the Student PC the Tutors machine name should appear in the session e.g. TEACHERPC 1
15.9 Fix Network Connectivity
Contact your Network Administrator to review the network connection between the Student and
Tutor PCs. If the telnet session fails this would suggest that there is a Firewall between the Tutor
and Student PC or Security application installed on the Tutor PC that is blocking access to the
required port (5421).
When a Tutor console connects to a Student machine an Auto-reconnect string will be created on
the Student PC. The Auto-reconnect string stored on the Students PC contains the information
required for the Student to connect back to the correct Tutor machine if its connection to the Tutor
is lost, this includes the following:
For a Student PC to successfully Auto-reconnect to a Tutor Console to rejoin the lesson the
information stored in the Auto reconnect string will need to be correct. Below you will find
instructions on how to check the Auto reconnect string on a Student PC:
The name of the Auto-reconnect key will contain the IP address and port number used to connect
back to the Tutor PC. First confirm that this is correct and matches the IP address of the Tutor PC.
The value of the Auto-reconnect registry key will contain the MAC address of the Student PC,
confirm this is correct and matches the MAC address on the Student PC.
If it is confirmed that the Auto-reconnect key stored on the Student PC does not contain the correct
information then we would advise to delete the Auto-reconnect key on the Student PC.
To delete the Auto-reconnect key on the Student PC follow the steps below:
Once the Key has been deleted connect to the Student PC again to allow the correct key to be
created and then review the Auto-Reconnect behaviour.
