5 Classroom Manager / Tec2Screen Manager Welcome to the installation of your new software from Festo Didactic. This quick start guide is designed to help make installation easier. Inserting the data storage medium First of all, insert the data storage medium in the appropriate disk drive. Many packages can now be installed using multilingual versions, which in some cases even enables you to switch languages while the system is running. However, this results in data volumes which can frequently only be made available on a DVD, if there s not enough space on a CD-ROM. Installation Log on to the computer with administrative rights and run the executable Setup-CRMxxx-2.5.xx.EXE file in the home folder of the data storage medium. You ll then be guided through the installation process step by step. Licensing The software packages are generally supplied with a licensing procedure that places the purchased licenses at your disposal. System requirements The following system requirements must be fulfilled in order to use the Classroom Managers / Tec2Screen Manager: Windows operating system Windows 2000 Server (web edition) or higher Recommended: Windows operating system Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher A Windows operating system Windows 7 or higher is sufficient for the Tec2Screen Manager. Administrator rights are mandatory for installation. In addition to the Classroom Manager, several free open-source components must also be installed. These are supplied as part of the installation bundle (Apache 2.x, MySQL 4.x or 5.x, PHP 4.x, Zend Optimizer). For standard installation, the required ports are ports 80 (Apache) and 3306 (MySQL). These ports may not be used by any other programs or services. The hardware should be an Intel/AMD x86 or x86-64 platform. There are no minimum requirements for the CPU, memory or hard drive.

6 Note regarding the Tec2Screen Manager The free Tec2Screen Manager is a highly condensed version of the Classroom Manager, with which you can conveniently load courses and simulations to your Tec2Screen. The screenshots shown here may differ from the Tec2Screen Manager. A maximum of 20 users can be set up for the Tec2Screen Manager, and no more than 20 users can work simultaneously with the Tec2Screen.

Tec2Screen courses and Tec2Screen simulations, which can be imported by means of the course administration function, are already complete courses. Festo Didactic

Then click Course -> New in course administration, enter a course title and save the course. 3. The WBT then has to be assigned to this course via the Structure tab. The WBT thus becomes a course.
