Videoconference Test - Automated
Test Facility Global Leap offers an opportunity
for you to test your video conference equipment by dialing:
ISDN NUMBER :
+44 (0)20 8426 2194(128K)
IP (ADSL)
Address: 80.68.51.35 (recommended
128K) Using your videoconference equipment -
This number should not be used for any telephone contact! This is an AUTOMATED TEST FACILITY. When you
dial the number using your videoconference equipment you will see
a short recorded DVD video of various conference activities with
schools and hear recorded music. This will enable you to test that
your ISDN or IP connection is working correctly. Please note
this only tests your outgoing line. Your partner school needs to
test their connection too. IMPORTANT:
The picture you will see is a DVD video recording only, and is NOT intended to represent the picture quality you should expect to receive
during a live point to point videoconference lesson. The picture
quality of this demo recording will NOT be improved by using multiple
ISDN line or Broadband connectivity. It is intended to be a test
facility only and not a demonstration of videoconference call quality.
If you need advice on these matters, please telephone
and arrange a convenient time to make a live link with one of our
colleagues which will be a more reliable demonstration of these
issues and discuss any concerns you may have about connectivity
issues.
This test facility is intended to quickly test your
ISDN/IP video link before making your conference link, or it can
be used as a simple method of developing your technical confidence
with using your videoconference kit. However please do not use the test facility
continuously for long periods of time as this prevents other schools
and museum colleagues from using it for testing their connectivity
prior to a lesson. Please Note that these calls may be monitored for
support and training purposes. ISDN AND IP face to face test/advice by arrangement Global Leap also offers opportunities for teachers
and pupils to develop their confidence with videoconferencing etiquette.
Many teachers and pupils find it helpful to practise
their videoconference presentation skills with a sympathetic "far
end". Mike Griffith will take you and your class through the
process of speaking clearly, and listening carefully. He will also
help you to check the suitability of your lighting and audio, and
make suggestions if necessary to improve your presentations. To make this arrangement:
