Installing Faronics Insight on Windows
Faronics Insight has two installation programs for Windows.
• teacher.msi
• student.msi
To install Faronics Insight you must run the appropriate.msi file on either the teacher or student
computer. The install creates a C:\Program Files\Faronics folder on each computer and stores all
files locally.
Once the installation is complete, the Student or Teacher program will automatically start each
time the computer is started. The teacher computer will display the Faronics Insight icon in the
system tray at the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To begin using Faronics Insight,
right-click the icon to open the shortcut menu or left click to open the Faronics Insight console.
On student computers, a Faronics Insight Student icon will appear in the system tray at the
bottom right corner of the computer screen. If you place your mouse cursor over the icon, it will
tell you the Teacher channel and the IP address of the student computer.
To install Faronics Insight on a teacher computer
1. In My Computer, go to the Faronics Insight product download location and double-click
teacher.msi in the Windows folder.
2. Click Next.
3. Read the license agreement that appears, then click I Accept, then Next.
4. Type in a Teacher channel number (1 to 16,000), then click Next. Remember to choose a
unique number for each classroom.
5. If necessary, set any Advanced Options. Check the box “Check to configure advanced options.”
Most of these options only apply to the Teacher when it becomes a Student
computer.
6. Select a Security Mode option if desired. Selecting either mode is not required, and is not
recommended unless you have read the section Installing Faronics Insight in Secure Mode
later in this guide. Checking the box to Enable a security mode allows you to then select one or
both security modes. If Password Secure Mode is selected, then both Teacher and Student
installs require that password to subscribe to a channel. If Active Directory Secure Mode is
selected, then the teacher must belong to an Active Directory group called Insight Teachers
that must be created by your IT staff.
7. Click Install.
8. Click Finish to complete the installation.
9. If a Teacher was previously installed on that device, then a reboot will be required in order to
update the existing files.
By default, Teachers are installed without the ability to change their channel. If you wish to allow
teachers to have the ability to change the channel, or to view multiple channels, you must copy and
run the EnableChannelSelect.exe utility located in the Utilities subfolder in the Windows folder
from the product download to the Teacher machine.
