5.4 RF Remote Setup

Follow the steps below to set up remotes. Be sure the RF host
*
is properly installed before
proceeding.
v.86 host or higher is required for Qwizdom Actionpoint. If the host is not v.857 host or higher, please contact
Technical Support to update your hardware.
·
Estimated Maximum Number of Remotes
-the number of remotes that will
be in use for presentation. Class/group sizes vary, so it's best to enter the
highest estimated amount of remotes rather than accommodating each
class/group.
·
Enable Backlight
-activates the back light on the Q5RF participant and
instructor remotes.
·
Fixed Set
-select this mode if you are K-12 or Corporate setting. Fixed Set is
where the remotes are assigned with an internal number (assigning fixed
numbers) where logging in by ID is mandatory.
·
Roaming Set/Participant Owned
-check this option if the participants own
the remotes. This mode is best-suited for Higher Ed/University settings.
Participants are required to either enter a Session ID or Participant ID to join a
presentation.
1.
Click on the
Configuration Settings
button. The

Session IDs
When using RF remotes for the first time, the remotes may ask for a session ID. Session IDs
"assign" the remote to the host. The remote identifies and communicates only with the
host the session ID is assigned to. Each host has a default six digit session ID that is located
on the bottom of the host.
You can also create your own Session ID. The Session ID must be unique because if you
have other hosts in the same building, the remotes will become confused on which host
they should send the information to. If you are using a fixed set, Session IDs only need to
be entered in once. If you switch hosts or use remotes from another set, you will need to

Session IDs
When using RF remotes for the first time, the remotes may ask for a session ID. Session IDs
"assign" the remote to the host. The remote identifies and communicates only with the
host the session ID is assigned to. Each host has a default six digit session ID that is located
on the bottom of the host.
64
Qwizdom Actionpoint 2007
Page 66
Qwizdom Actionpoint User Guide65
You can also create your own Session ID. The Session ID must be unique because if you
have other hosts in the same building, the remotes will become confused on which host
they should send the information to. If you are using a fixed set, Session IDs only need to
be entered in once. If you switch hosts or use remotes from another set, you will need to
enter the session ID for the host you will be using into the remotes.
Assigning Fixed Numbers
If you have selected
Fixed Set
mode
,
then you would assigned fixed numbers to the
remotes if the participants will not be logging in by participant ID. Assigning fixed
numbers assigns the remote ID (
e.g. remote #1, remote #2, etc
.). The file that contains the
remote assignments are saved onto the computer, not the actual remote. You only have
to assign fixed numbers once unless you change computers or hosts.
