Installation Guide

INTRODUCTION

This guide is aimed at assisting and facilitating the installation of TELL ME MORE® Education on the server and associated workstations. This guide also describes the functions of the following applications:

- Server Manager: to define and modify the TELL ME MORE

- Lesson Copier: to copy the lesson content onto student or Tutor workstations;

- Auxiliary Lesson Server: to copy the lesson content onto a workstation accessible through the network.

Note: To know more about different applications and concepts addressed in this guide, refer to the Glossary.

Installation Guide

INSTALLATION OF TELL ME MORE® EDUCATION

Required Configuration

Different types of configuration possible

The main requirement to use TELL ME MORE® Education through a network is to be able to provide lesson access at an output rate of 2 MB/second for each student workstation connected to the network. Depending on the server on which the software is installed, this rate may not always be maintained (due to a weak server connection, high number of student workstations, etc.). To avoid this problem, different installation configurations are possible:

Type of configuration Description Properties

Configuration 1

Configuration 2

Configuration 3

Configuration 4

Copies the lesson content onto the server’s hard disk. Makes a local copy of the lesson content on each student and/or Tutor workstation.

Copies the lesson content onto the server’s hard disk as well as onto one or more auxiliary lesson servers.

Provides access to the lesson content from a CD-ROM for one or more student or Tutor workstations.

Default configuration

The ‘Lesson Copier’ application enables the server lesson content to be copied onto student and/or Tutor workstations. The ‘Auxiliary Lesson Server’ application enables the lesson content to be copied onto an auxiliary lesson server. Requires a CD-ROM for each workstation.

Note:

The individual configuration of each student/Tutor workstation can also be defined. To know more about this, refer to the Server Manager/Workstations section.

Examples of network types and their corresponding configurations

Example: a network with a weak output rate (10 MB/s) and few workstations (less than 10 workstations)

- 1-5 workstations: the lesson content is copied onto the server’s hard disk (Configuration 1).

- 6-9 workstations: it is preferable to make a local copy of the lesson content on each workstation (Configuration 2) or use a CD-ROM for each workstation (Configuration 4).

Example: a multimedia suite with a network output rate of 100 MB/s

- 1-25 workstations: the whole lesson content can be copied onto the server’s hard disk (Configuration 1).

- 25 workstations or more: the 2 MB/s output rate to access the lesson content must be respected for each workstation connected to the network. In this case, it is possible to:

§ make a local copy of the lesson content on each workstation (Configuration 2);

§ copy the lesson content onto the auxiliary lesson servers (Configuration 3);

§ use a CD-ROM for each workstation (Configuration 4).
