Hi, Is anyone able to help or point me in the right direction. I am looking at the possibility of running a single timetable across two school campuses. Has anyone got experience in setting up and running this scenario? Do they both need to have the same DFES number?

The on-board sound card takes care of all of this. If you right hand click on the speaker icon on the right hand side next to the clock, click on 'Playback DEvices' and then select the speakers the sound is split from the HDMI to the speakers via the 3.5mm phono jack.

In SIMS you need to add FSM eligibility (See this link for details how to do this). When the correct eligibility dates are added you then need to run the NRS SIMS extractor. This is mainly used to export the FSM, biometric consent field and photos from SIMS into the NRS system. One this has been done and the ParentPay system updates with the NRS after the pre-defined time (or you can manually update this on the NRS server) the finance should take care of itself. It will automatically credit pupil accounts back if theyr have used their own money but eligible for FSM during that period. Hope this makes sense and is of help.

Thanks I will take a look first thing in the morning and let you know. Cheers.

Great thanks for the info. Do you think that disabling it in the BIOS will stop the card working through the 3.5mm rear output jack or just the internal speaker? Looks like disabling the internal speaker on them all is the safest option! Would you know how to push the audio through the 3.5mm jack rather than it all going through the HDMI cable? having this problems when setting up a teachers machine with a projector and dual screen. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for your reply. Strage why the computer only comes with HDMI, Display Port and the 3.5mm jack.

We fully researched Cunninghams and NRS. We eventually went with NRS. Both systems are very similar but from what I can see but had better local and national support since the same kit is used in the retail industry as well. Think the NRS on-going service contract charge is a lot cheaper as well. Best of luck.

Hope this has been sorted for you. If not I can post a solution for you.

When the MISSink software will run with the new UPN's added against the 15 students then they would generate new accounts and logins for those pupils again. Therefore all balances and transactions would not follow them either as all runs off the UPN. However, if you had to go down this road then you could use the manual finance feature in ParentPay to debit the student accounts with the temporary UPN and credit the same amount into their new accounts with the correct UPN's. Hope this makes sense.

Hi, Any ideas how to disable the internal speaker of an optiplex computer but not the external audio output. Bit of a nighmare in a classroom if they are all making sound at the sametime!!!!

Just purchased a Dell Optiplex 3040 which only has HDMI and a Display Port. When the HDMI is connected to a HDMI splitter (one output to the teachers projector, the other output to the teachers first monitor) and the display port to the second monitor (desktop extended across both screens) for some reason the 3.5mm audio output at the rear does not work. I know that HDMI streams audio as well but surely when something is plugged into the 3.5mm audio jack the sound should bypass through this rather than the HDMI. Otherwise what is the point in supplying the computer with HDMI and an external audio. Any ideas?

Hi, Any ideas why suddenly a new PC will only present the CTR+ALT+DEL login screen after needing to pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice!
