SETTING UP YOUR HEADSET FOR USE IN THE WEB CONFERENCES

YOUR COMPUTER:

1. Go to "Start."

2. Click on "Control Panel."

3. Double Click on "Sounds and Audio Devices."

4. " USB Audio Device" should come up if it is plugged into your computer. If not, designate it.

5. Designate it by clicking on "Audio" tab.

6. Set your "Default Device" in "Sound Playback" and "Sound Recording" for "USB Audio Device."

7. Click "O.K."

THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO GET TO WEB CONFERENCE

After having downloaded the Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 client:

FOR BEST RESULTS, BEFORE STARTING THE PROGRAM, DISABLE SECURITY FIREWALLS, ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAMS AND POP-UP BLOCKERS. EVEN WITH THIS PROCEDURE, YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE WORKING ON A WIRELESS CONNECTION SINCE THE WIRELESS NETWORK MAY HAVE ITS OWN FIREWALL THAT YOU CANNOT DISCONNECT. FOR THIS REASON, I ALWAYS USE A CABLE CONNECTION WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

AT THE END OF THE WEB CONFERENCE, BE SURE TO REENABLE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DISABLED EARLIER.

1. Go to Start menu.

2.Click on Programs.

3. Click on Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 client. (You have to have downloaded this from the link (above) on your website)

4. Enter the Meeting ID, exactly, that is listed on the course website

(e.g., MBA659-1w). This is found below in the meeting schedule.

5. Ignore the Entry Code box.

6.The Location box should automatically display this address: https://www114.livemeeting.com/cc/udayton

7. If the address is not displayed, then enter the address.

8. Click "Join."

9. Enter your name.

10. Click "Continue."

MEETING ID IS REQUIRED.

The actual Web Conference program will begin about 15-30 minutes before the Web Conference is scheduled to begin.

There are icons at the top of the page to indicate the status of your microphone.

You have to click on the microphone and "unmute" it on the tool bar to turn it on so you can speak in the Web Conference. If that does not work, click on the "Voice and Video" tab on the tool bar and click on the microphone icon that comes up there.

The speaker icon should be "unmuted" by default.

For best results for participating in the Web Conference, a headset is desirable. Be sure to check your microphone/headset before the web conference to be sure it is in working order.

When you wish to speak, go to the color icon on the top, right-hand corner of the tool bar and select the purple color to indicate you wish to speak.

Check your e-mail in case further instructions have been forwarded to you regarding methods for communication in the Web Conference.
