Connecting to SMART Sync Class List
Server

If you or your system administrator has installed SMART Sync Class List Server as

documented in the SMART Sync 2010 System Administrator’s Guide

(

document 144150

), you can connect SMART Sync Teacher to it to do one of the

following:

l

Maintain information about your school’s students, teachers, classes and

computer labs, as well as rules you can apply to block student access to

applications and websites, in a central location that’s accessible to multiple

teachers in your school.

l

Allow students to connect to you by selecting your ID from a drop-down list in

SMART Sync Student when you’re logged on to SMART Sync Teacher. (This

feature is referred to as “teacher discovery.”)

N O T E S

l

If you use SMART Sync Class List Server for the first option, you or your

system administrator must install SMART Sync Administrator Tool and

create a SMART School file. If you use SMART Sync Class List Server for

the second option, you don’t need to complete those additional steps.

l

If multicasting is enabled on your school’s network, teacher discovery is

available by default. You don’t need to use SMART Sync Class List Server

to allow teacher discovery in this situation.
