  1. You could try Heatmapper by Ekahau. HeatMapper | Free Wi-Fi coverage mapping software for homes and small offices.
  2. LanTopolog was the software I was thinking of!
  3. At my last school we used a program that detected all of the managed switches and their IP addresses. Can't remember the name of it though
  4. We've used some of these expensive adapters made by Kanex that convert the HDMI to VGA and a 3.5mm jack for audio: Kanex ATV Pro Cable - AirPlay Mirroring For VGA Projector - Apple Store (UK) Then a 2x port VGA and audio switcher: http://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-Port-VGA-Audio-Switch/dp/B001D869PS/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
  5. Probably a combination of the long pole and long sections of unistrut. Options of adding more unistrut, steel wires etc are going to start to make it look quite messy. I'd say shorten the pole and keystone to compensate and move the projector forward/back and mount it to the roof beam if the throw distance will allow.
  6. We've had the same issue with a couple of RM machines. I ended up installing a MAK key via VAMT on the couple of machines affected. I just assumed that the PCs might have had replacement motherboards that didn't have the matching BIOS.
  7. Remind me of an article (full of pictures) of a disused Royal Mail underground rail network - cool stuff!!
  8. Have some festive shaped PCB for your tree! Recycled Xmas Decorations
  9. I've mentioned that they could use Twinkl but apparently Sparklebox is better. I agree with you @elsiegee40 especially as the kids at our school are paying to be there! Apparently because he's been released from prison it's ok now. On the other hand I guess the school wouldn't employ a paedophile that has been released from prison on the assumption that they are no longer a threat.
  10. Nono. I had to unblock it SMT agreed that is was a very valuable resource for teaching. Saves the teachers loads of time etc.. All the news articles, guidelines from county councils, SWGfL etc are a couple of years old so therefore irrelevant apparently.
  11. Had to unblock this one today: http://sparkleboxteacherresources.ltd.uk/ why must such a legitimate site use so many different domains??
  12. HP have made some 'Mobile Thin Clients' in the past. Not sure what the latest version is and if they support 3g.
  13. Just saw this on the RM Communities (RM partnered with Misco as hardware provider): http://www.rm.com/shop
  14. Still not heard anything about our account managers hmm. We've got a call open since May about our internet speeds!
  15. If I recall correctly there's a couple of users on here that have done something similar, setting up TV streaming servers in school with TV tuners allowing TV to be viewed in any classroom...

  16. Would it be going too far to cut out a Christmas decoration on the laser cutter with Al's face engraved.. hmm!
  17. I found out this week that our account manager had left, a couple of weeks ago! But nobody at RM had bothered to get in contact with us or let us know who our new account manager would be.
  18. Very nice! We've got a RAM wreath on our office door (inspired by the one posted to Reddit). Made some tree decorations out of old CDs on the laser cutter in DT
  19. Shares in Ubiquiti!
  20. Aren't they getting rid of using channel 69 for radio mics? We've been using the Sennheiser XSW range of radio mics as they're relatively cheap and can be rackmounted. They also take 2x AA batteries so a bit cheaper to run than some of the cheap units that take 9v batteries.
  21. Have you got a link to any more info on this? I've been looking for this but haven't been able to find the feature!
  22. The Intellitone 100 kit is just over £100. If you want more features like cable testing/certification then there is the Intellitone 200 which is more expensive, I assume @m25man was quoting the price of the 200?
  23. We use a Fluke Intellitone 100 and probe kit. It works great and has been invaluable when tracing network cables, phone cabling, speaker cabling...
  24. I know this is an old thread. Do you have any details on how you enabled NLA? I can't seem to get it to work on WinFLP. I've followed guides for enabling it on XP but they don't seem to work. Thanks
