These instructions are pertinent for the following rooms in Grainger Hall: 2210M, 2210N, 2210R, 2210S, & 2210U. Otherwise known as the ALCs. These rooms are most often used in their combined configurations, making them 2210MN, and 2210RS. 2210U is a standalone room and does not combine with another room.
These rooms, unlike all other classrooms in Grainger Hall, do not have a podium computer present. As such, some kind of mobile device is required for sharing content on the in room displays. Instead of a projection screen, the rooms have multiple wall mounted monitors, two per room, so four when two rooms are combined. These monitors can be connected to either with an HDMI cable and the appropriate adapter at one of the rooms wall plates, or wirelessly using an application called "Mersive Solstice". There is one wall plate per display, and they are located directly beneath the displays. How to use either of these options will be explained further below.
The wall mounted control panel will allow you to send your content from your device to the displays in the room. Either one, two, or all four of the displays can be played at any one time. The steps below will guide you on how to do this.
The control panel interface has three pages: the normal Standby page, Combine the Rooms? page, and the Input page.
Once you've selected either All Displays -> Wireless Video or Single Displays -> Wireless Video, something like this will appear on all of the displays in the room.
This is the Main Mersive Solstice page. In the top left is the device name, beneath it is the rotating 4 digit pin which will be important later. In the top right hand corner will be a string of numbers, connect to UW Net Wifi, open up your preferred browser, and plug those numbers in your address bar. Once you've done so, you'll be greeted by a web page like the one below.
Click "Get the App" and you will automatically download the most compatible version of the Mersive Solstice App to your computer. Install that application.
Once it's done installing, you can open the application and get to the main connection page. In the "Quick Connect" search bar at the top, once again type in that string of numbers. Once you hit enter, you'll be asked for a PIN, this is the PIN I mentioned earlier that lives in the top left of the Main Mersive Solstice screen, underneath the device name. When you are asked for this PIN, it will increase in size on the display. Enter that PIN and you'll be connected and ready to go.
Make sure to disconnect from the Solstice before you leave, otherwise you may unintentionally stay connected to it for some time after leaving the room.
