First, you need to launch the Live Activities Dashboard (LIVE) by clicking on the icon shown below:
Then enter Configuration and click on:
The server identification panel will automatically appear when you first launch the Live Activities Dashboard on the teacher station. This panel is shown below:
There are two choices:
- Do not select: Use Teacher for storage, is reserved for demonstration only. Always use the second choice below for actual installation in a language lab.
- The second choice is the one you will select: Use dedicated server for storage. Here you can have 2 types of databases.
- SmartClass-Server: If your database is located on the teacher PC, a Windows server or a NAS device, enter the path to the SmartClass-Server folder.
- SmartClass Cloud: If you have a SmartClass Cloud, enter the cloud name starting with ##, like in the example above.
- Click on Save, if you get this message:
Verify the name you have entered. If you are trying to connect with a local database, verify that the users have Read and Modify rights for the complete SmartClass-Server folder.
If the panel closes, you have correctly configured the database access.
Note: The format for the path information is abbreviated. Do not enter the “\\” characters in front of the server name, and do not include “SmartClass-Server” as part of the path information. File names cannot include SPACES.
Example: The SmartClass-Server is located on a machine called Robotel, inside C:\SC_Database.
SC_Database is shared with the $ option (not browsable)
We will enter in the Server PC Name: Robotel\SC_Database$
<server-name>\<hidden-high-level-folder-name$>
If you will be linking the SmartClass users with your school’s LDAP Directory, the path must include an \LDAP folder parent for the SmartClass-Server folder.
<server-name>\<hidden-high-level-folder-name$>\LDAP
