Downstairs Meeting Room

Using the TV PC -

Turn the TV on with the remote and ensure the selected channel is HDMI 1. If it’s not on HDMI1, then on the remote press “Source” and use the directional buttons to select HDMI 1(refer to the remote image on the next page). If the PC has been left on the desktop will show on the TV, or may also be in sleep mode (indicated by slow flashing power light on PC) but can be woken up by pressing a key on the wireless keyboard.

If it was shut down, then you’ll need to turn on the PC by pressing the power button on the Blue PC box mounted to back of the TV.

Use the wireless keyboard and mouse supplied to connect to your server session – double click on the “Traffitech Server” icon on the desktop, and when the following window appears you can click “More Choices”

Then click on “Use a different account”

Enter your log in credentials, your username will be your first name followed by last initial e.g. “johnf” and click OK.

Please DO NOT tick the “remember me” box!!

How to connect an external device.

There are a couple of ways to connect your laptop to the TV…

1) You can connect your Laptop via the HDMI cable that is hanging on the hook behind the TV. Connect this to your laptop and make sure the TV channel is on HDMI 2 by pressing “Source“ on the remote and use the directional buttons to select “HDMI 2”.

If your laptop requires a different cable or adaptor, please come and see us in I.T.

2) If your device is Miracast compatible, you can connect wirelessly via the Microsoft Wireless Display adaptor that is connected to the TV. Ensure the TV channel is on HDMI 4, then on your laptop swipe from the right edge of the screen(if a touch screen) or click on the notifications button in your system tray(bottom right) and then click “Connect”. If you can’t see the connect button you may need to click on “expand” to see all the options.

Select “MSDisplayAdaptor_F9” to cast your device screen onto the TV.

Use the same menu items to disconnect when you are finished casting your device.

Casting from your Android phone

If wanting to cast from your Android phone then open the quick settings pane by swiping down twice from the top of your screen, and select “Cast” or “Smart View” (you may need to swipe to the next page of icons to find it), then select “MSDisplay_F9” from the available list of devices to cast to.

Skype for Business

If you are using Skype for Business for a meeting – Select the Skype for Business icon from the taskbar.

If a previous user is automatically signed in, you can sign them out by selecting the drop-down menu beneath their username, and selecting “sign out”. Just remember to sign out yourself when you’re all done!

Enter your work email address in the text box and click “sign in”

Microsoft will then ask for your password, enter this and click “sign in”. Easy!

PC Trouble shooting tips

· TV PC desktop does not appear on screen : Check that both the TV, and the PC is turned on - there is a small power button on the blue PC mounted behind the TV. Check which channel you should be on, and then check which channel is currently selected on the TV (Press the “source” button on the remote)

· No response from the keyboard or mouse : Check that the hardware is switched on. For the mouse you can check to make sure there is nothing obstructing the sensor underneath.

· No picture via HDMI to the TV : Check that both ends of the HDMI cable are connected to the appropriate ports e.g. One connection in your device, and the other in the HDMI 2 Port on the TV.

· No Audio from TV via the HDMI cable : Check the volume level of the TV is not too low or on mute. If that appears fine, then on your laptop right click on the speaker icon in your system tray(bottom right of the task bar) and select “Sounds”.

From the Sound window select the “Playback” tab, then right click on “HDMI” and set as default.

Just remember to set the default back to your laptop speakers when you are finished 😊
