Hello,
Please create a confluence article to only deploy the Lenovo mini-hubs with the power supply. Not sure why, but I’ve noticed the Lenovo mini-hubs don’t work with all laptops (in particular with MacBooks) without the power supply.
We should create the knowledge article so we all know to only deploy these mini-hubs with power supply.

Description:
Hello,
Adding to JIRA for transparency (ACO Staff/Coops as requested).
Summary of Feedback from Instructors for ML-113:
Room Setup and Improvements:
• The recent changes to room https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> have been well-received, particularly regarding increased space and flexibility. Instructors expressed satisfaction with the adjustments to the layout, which now better accommodates their teaching styles.
• This setup allows for flexibility in course delivery while maintaining sufficient space for students.
Technology Issues:
• Some users experienced issues with HDMI connections through the Lenovo dock:
o For smaller laptops, adding a USB-C charger to the dock resolved the issue and allowed the HDMI signal to work properly.
o For larger laptops, the dock alone was insufficient, and a direct HDMI connection from the laptop to the display was required to resolve the issue.
To address these concerns, I connected a USB-C charger and left it in place on the dock to provide reliable power for smaller devices. However, for larger or older laptops, direct HDMI connections are recommended.
Request for Podium Computer:
• Instructors have requested the addition of a dedicated podium computer connected to the TV for seamless teaching and presentation control. This would eliminate reliance on individual laptops and provide a more stable and reliable solution for instructors.
TV Remote Navigation:
• Some users reported difficulty navigating the TV remote when changing the source input. The remote’s complexity caused delays in switching between devices, and a more user-friendly or simplified solution would be appreciated.

Given we now have some time to test drive, I would suggest you reach out the instructors and see if anyone can drop by for a scheduled visit to get their feedback on the Mobile display.
I know Jorge and Regina responded, they may have time. Also, Jorge indicated he was having issues with laptop and dropped by (not sure when) and no one was in https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> .
Use this extra time to be proactive and solve discover problems before clients do.
Thanks, Bill

Thanks,
It is a shame with all the back and forth, with specific information that we would strive to have everything setup by today, no one informed me there were no classes this week.
Thanks for being there …
@Jameson Schildroth<mailto:jschildroth at uwaterloo.ca> (testing of mobile display access) and others, gives us more time to get the hub-monitors connected to network ports (with an easy access).
Cheers, Bill

FYI - As requested I was in ML this morning, and no instructors showed up. Checked with all instructors holding classes this week and because it’s the first week no labs will be held in ML 113.

Good morning,
Sean has agreed to be working out of ML-110A to support the classes today and remainder of week (see https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> room calendar for times).
@Jameson Schildroth<mailto:jschildroth at uwaterloo.ca>, can Ana share what they have discovered to leverage the mobile display this morning? First class is 9:30am today.
Please note, IST and ACO still working on connecting the hub-monitors to the network ports, which may or may not prove an improved service.
However, there is an AP in the room, so most if not all can access Internet via Wi-Fi, including the instructor.
And remember, all instructors and chairs know this is a first cut at creating a better environment for students and instructors, so patience and time to create a workable solution is in order. Please collect data as we go forward.
Thanks in advance, Bill

GOOD MORNING ALL,
Wanted to report back that we successfully setup fourteen (14) hub-monitors and a mobile display in https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> , next steps are as follows:
1. Have IST re-active ALL networks ports in https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> (Nevil or Sean)
2. Most ports (14) are connected to hub-monitors; should be setup same as our other hub-monitors in classrooms (Sean or Nevil)
3. One connected to the UNLABELED network jack for the mobile display with mini-computer from https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-110#icft=ML-110 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-110#icft=ML-110> (Nevil or Sean)
4. Defining, testing and document how instructor can connect to item (c) from their laptop (co-ops)
This all has to happen today, with a small buffer tomorrow (Wednesday) before first class at 9:30am.
Given this is the first time a classroom is levering hub-monitors (for some students) and an instructor with a mobile display, we will need someone in ML – 110A to be there for support. This should be for the first two weeks (starting tomorrow with first classes). In particular, we should have ACO staff member meet the instructors at their first class.
And special thanks to the fellow ACO staff that helped achieve the installation of technology into https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> last week !!!
Thanks in advance, Bill

Hello all,
Hopefully each ACO staff member, not currently on vacation, could start moving some of the Philips 279P1 27" 4K UHD WLED LCD USB-C Monitors to https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> in preparation for tutorials being held in https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113 <https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/browse/ML-113#icft=ML-113> starting Wednesday, September 4th, 2024.
I believe we have one (1) there now however need at least fifteen (15) more by Thursday AM of this week. Plan is either:
1. One hub-monitor (13) on desk along the walls
2. One for desk (24) there was an old desktop connected
I’ve attached the list of those monitors in our server room (set aside for this purpose and I believe Spencer mentioned some other that could be deployed to provide 25 identical Philips 4K hub-monitors.
Finally, IST – Networking recommends 802.1x access control and is working on a solution. However, initially students can leverage the monitor but not the data ports, they can simply use Wi-Fi and access the AP installed in the room
COMBO = 5 2/3 4 1
Cheers, Bill
