Tip

Supervisor: Dr. Ali AbuSeileek

0ecause the installation can be done from one computer and because the installation ensures that all students have identical setup from the outset, this method of installing the !tudent module is preferred by most users. 8hen the Teacher and !tudent modules have been installed, they automatically have default settings and are fully operational without any further setup. :owever, both modules have setup options that are presented in three wi"ard steps the first time the module is started. The default options can be reviewed and changed at first startup or

Manage the class

In etop !chool you use a class to organi"e the group of student computers you want to work with at one time. 9 class can represent a physical classroom or can be used to group computers at different locations, such as a school library. The first class is created automatically as part of the initial setup& it is called =>y 7lass=. 8hen a class e3ists and you connect to it, you can begin to supervise student work, remotely control computers,

share screens, lock keyboards, and use other

etop !chool features.

8hen the Teacher module is running, one class is always the active, current one. #ou can define whether the Teacher module should start with the same class as the active one by default, or whether you want to choose which class should be the current one. Access and View Devices Remotely The basic components of etop ?emote 7ontrol consist of two remote control software pieces( the @uest ,installed on the technician*s computer- and the :ost ,installed on the target machine-.

8ith these components installed, one technician can access many devices at the same time& for e3ample, to run updates. >ultiple technicians can also access the same device to collaborate on problem-solving. 8e believe that when your e3pertise is needed, nothing should get in the way. 9t its core, our remote control software bridges the distance between you and the technology you depend on. <fficiency rises #our IT service desk can resolve more tickets from where they sit. Fewer inperson trips means you can field more calls. )owntime goes down& productivity goes up. 7osts fall Aess IT travel means a lower IT budget. 9utomated routines free up resources, and centrali"ed installation and deployment cuts the cost of system rollouts, upgrades and updates. !ecurity tightens ;rotect data with .B5-bit 9<! encryption. 7reate closed user groups, so a technician*s rights are set on the target device, and they can only connect with the right license keys.

For over 16 years, etop has been helping organi"ations provide comple3 remote maintenance from one intuitive interface, so you can streamline costs, resolve technical difficulties anywhere, any time, and get more productivity from the resources you*re using.
