The IP address of this device will vary based on the location where it is being used. If you need to know the IP address before the time of your conference, the unit will need to be connected to the network in your location prior to the time of your event. An IP address will be automatically assigned and displayed on the screen. You will then need to leave the device hooked to the network to retain that address.

LifeSize is a manufacturer of video conferencing systems. Leyburn Library has a LifeSize Passport video conferencing system available for use. This system will enable users to video conference with individuals around the world who have compatible standards based conferencing equipment. The Passport is a small palm-sized device that includes a camera and microphone.

The LifeSize Passport can be used in any location (on or off campus) where a display with HDMI is available. (A high speed network connection is also required.) Rooms with an HDMI connection include:

Leyburn M40, M41 and M42; the Writing Center and Leyburn 102

Early Fielding 109 and 114

Newcomb 120, 304 and 310

Please contact the Information Desk for possible solutions if you need to video conference on campus in a location that does not have an HDMI display.

The LifeSize Passport is a point-to-point communications device that uses standard internet infrastructure to transport the audio and video to the other end.

Dialing is done by “calling” the destination unit’s IP address.  Just as every phone has a phone number, every device connected to the network has an IP address.  The person you are calling will give you their IP address and you will “dial” that number.  This is an example of a typical IP address – 137.113.161.15.

The LifeSize Passport video conferencing system is compatible with any other system that uses current video conferencing standards via the internet. The brand of conferencing system on the other end is not important as long as it uses the commonly accepted IP based communications standards. These standards are known as H.264, H.263 & H.261.

The LifeSize Passport available in Leyburn Library will do high definition video up to 720p. The unit will automatically adjust to lower quality video based on network traffic and the capabilities of the video conferencing unit on the other end.

The LifeSize Passport system requires a high definition TV, monitor or projector to operate. The display device must have an HDMI input connection. Currently, HDMI-capable displays are limited in number on campus. The system also requires power and a wired network connection.

No. This video conferencing unit is designed for simple point-to-point exchange of what the camera sees and the microphone hears. Even though some video conferencing systems allow for the incorporation of presentations from a computer, the Passport does not.

When searching the Global Address List (GAL), click on the Advanced Find link. This allows you to enter search criteria in one or more fields including Department and Title.  

Note that the search has to match starting with the first word. Searching on "Library" in the Department field does not work because the department name is "University Library".

This advanced find capability is not available for personal contact lists/address books. With these, though, in your Contacts view you can display the Department column and sort by that.

Sometimes you will get a bounce back from an e-mail address that you have used before. Please forward as an attachment the bounce back to mtrimmer@wlu.edu.  If it is determined that there is an invalid address that has gotten into your auto-complete address list you will need to remove the invalid address and manually enter correct address.

To remove the bad address you will need to remove the Name@address.com entry in you auto-complete list (the list of address that come up when you start typing in the To field). To remove the entry start typing “N” in the To field of a new message, use the arrow keys to move up and down the list until Name@address.com is highlighted, and press the Delete key.

After this you can manually type the address once and it will then again be in you auto-complete list, this time with the correct address.

There is a problem running the latest version of FlipShare (the software that manages all your Flip videos) on older PCs. Basically, the software detects the processor on your computer and if your processor is not up to its standard, it will shut down, giving you an error message. 

The solution is to download and install the older version of Flipshare. First uninstall Flipshare (Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs), then download and install "Flip Video For PC" v3.7 from here:

Background:

AutoComplete is a feature which displays suggestions for names and email addresses as you begin to type them. These suggestions are possible matches from a list of names and email addresses that you have typed before, known as the AutoComplete name list. The AutoCompletes name list saved as a file on the local machine. 

Possible solutions:

1. Are you using your primary machine?  AutoComplete Lists are saved per machine (locally).  If you are not on your primary machine you will have a different list.
2. Was your machine rebuilt recently?  If so your AutoComplete file may not have been copied over to the new build. In this case you will need to start building a new list.
3. Is AutoComplete turned off? To turn AutoComplete on:
   • go to the File menu
   • click Options
   • select the Mail tab
   • scroll down to 'Send messages' section
   • check the "Use Auto-Complete to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc, and Bcc lines" check box
4. Very rarely a AutoComplete list file gets corrupted and all suggestions disappear. If your new entries are being saved then continue to build your new list with use. If the list remains blank contact the W&L InfoDesk.

We do not provide copies of the address list for two primary reasons. 1 - it becomes a nightmare to troubleshoot issues as more and more out-of-date address lists are in use, 2 - if a machine holding these addresses gets infected with a virus that uses or collects addresses then our whole address list would be compromised.
