Viewing Student Client Status
Overview
If a student device is appearing as offline, check the status of LanSchool Air client installed on the student's device to make sure it's provisioned and connected. To see the current status of the student client, open the LanSchool Air chat window on the student's device.
Student Icon on Chromebook | Student Icon on Windows |
With the LanSchool Air client window open on the student's device, look for the colored icon in the upper-right hand corner to see if the status is Green, Yellow, or Red. Refer to the following planations describing each state.
Connected (Green) Status
A green Status icon in the chat box indicates that all systems, including the student client, are operating correctly. If the student is appearing "Offline" in the instructor's class, confirm that the class roster is correct and that the student is logged in to the device using the same account listed in the class roster.
Not Connected (Yellow) Status
A yellow Status icon indicates that the student client is unable to connect to LanSchool Air due to a restriction. Select the Status icon to view more details.
The client may be unable to connect to the servers due to:
- The student is attempting to connect outside of your organization's active hours.
- The student's public IP address is not in the acceptable range according to your organization’s IP address filtering configuration.
- A firewall or content filter is blocking the connection to LanSchool Air's servers. Ensure your organization has followed the network requirements.
Not Connected (Red) Status
If the icon is red, the student client has not been provisioned to your LanSchool Air organization. Select the Status icon to view more details about the issue(s).
The client may not be provisioned due to:
- Your organization's provisioning window being closed. Have the Site Admin open the provisioning window.
- The client was installed incorrectly and the correct provisioning code parameter was not set (Windows/Mac only).
- A firewall or content filter is blocking the connection to LanSchool Air's servers. Ensure your organization has followed the network requirements.
