Installing iTALC (free monitoring software) for Windows 7 on a Master Computer (not a student one).

Important Note: You can only monitor your students from one computer, the one you install the italc software to and designate as the master computer. You must install the software on the master computer first, create a key, then install the software on the student computers and import that key, so the computers can communicate. 1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/italc/files/italc2/release-candidate-1/ and download/save the program to your desktop. Also save a copy of it to a flash drive as well or move it to your flash drive as soon as youve finished installing the program. (See direction below.)

2. Double click on the setup icon on your desktop. 3. Click on Next. 4. Click on I Agree. 5. Click on Next. 6. Click on Yes to create the directory. 7. Make sure theres a checkmark next to iTALC Master and click on Next. 8. Uncheck I want to install Babylon unless you actually want this translation software. 9. Click on Install. 10. Put a check next to Run iTALC Management Console Now. 11. Click on Authentication on the left. 12. Click on Launch Key File Assistant in the middle. 13. Click Next. 14. Select Import key. Download or save this key to a flash drive along with the iTALC program to take to the student computers for installation.

Installing iTALC on Student (client) Computers with Windows 7. 1. Log in to a computer as Generic. See your CTM for generic login. 2. Insert flash drive and drag iTALC setup file and import key to the desktop. 3. Remove flash drive. 4. Double click on iTALC setup file. 5. Click on Next. 6. Click on I agree. 7. Click on Next. 8. Uncheck iTALC Master and click Next. This step is VERY important. 9. Uncheck I want to install Babylon unless you want this translation program installed. 10. Click on Install. 11. Click on finish. 12. Click on Authentication on the left. 13. Click on Launch Key File Assistant in the middle. 14. Click on Next. 15. Select Important Public Key and Next. 16. Click on Next again. 17. Click on the picture of the disk at the top right. 18. Select desktop. 19. Select the Import Key.

20. Click on Next. Click on Finish. Click on OK. 21. Drag the import key and program on the desk top to the recycle bin and delete the contents of the recycle bin. 22. Record the PIN number from the computer and the physical address for that particular computer. (I made a map of my computers and recorded these two items as well as the number I assigned to that particular computer.) To find the physical address, do the following: a. b. c. d. Right click on the picture of the monitor in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Click on Open Network and Sharing Area. Click on Local Area Connection. Click on details and copy the 12 digit code (letters and numbers) next to physical address. You will enter this into the iTALC program on your computer, so your computer can monitor the student computer, so if you dont record these numbers and letters correctly, it wont work.

Adding Student Computers to Your iTALC Display 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Open up iTALC on your Computer. Click on the small picture of a monitor with a magnifying glass in front of it on the left. Right click in the big white box that appears in the left and click on Add Classroom. Type in the word Library and click on OK. Right click under the word Library and click on Add Computer. In the IP/Hostname box, type AISD+PIN of the student computer you wish to add to your list (i.e. AISD 1119456). There should be no spaces. In the Name box, type in your personal name or number for that particular student computer. In the MAC Address box, type in the physical address of that particular student computer with a colon between every two digits instead of a hyphen. Example: 00:23:24:1e:36:81 Click on OK. It should now appear under the word Library. If it doesnt, click on the word Library. Double click on the name or number of the computer in your list to get it to show up. Now it should automatically appear when you open up iTALC. Repeat steps 3-11 above to add each of your student computers to your list.

Functions in iTALC 1. If you click on the autoview button at the top, the student computers are all displayed as the same size. 2. You can left click on the picture of a student computer monitor to make the display of it slightly larger. If you double click on it, it will fill up your screen. You can close it by clicking on the X in the upper right-hand corner on the screen. 3. The rest of the buttons at the top are pretty self-explanatory. You also have more functions displayed if you right click on a monitor. Then you can log off that particular student or shut down his or her computer.

Trouble Shooting 1. Click on the Start menu at the bottom of your screen while iTALC is closed. 2. Select iTALC Management Console. 3. Click on the sections on the left and make sure that the screens that open up look like the screenshots below.
