Viewing Student Client Status

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. This will provide direction on where to begin troubleshooting.

Viewing Chromebook Client Status

To view the status of the LanSchool Air client on a Chromebook, click on the LanSchool Air icon at the bottom of the screen in the shelf.



Once the chat box is open, click on the red, yellow or green light at the bottom left corner of the chat box to view the client status.

 

The student status will display along with an option to download encrypted logs for debugging. 



Viewing Windows Client Status

To view the status of the LanSchool Air client on a Windows device, right click on the LanSchool Air icon at the bottom right corner in the System Tray by the clock. 



The icon may be in the hidden icons area if it is not visible.

Clicking on Status... will open the status page with an option to download encrypted logs for debugging.



Viewing MacOS Client Status

To view the status of the LanSchool Air client on a MacOS device, click on the LanSchool Air icon at the top right corner of the Status Bar by the clock. 



Clicking on Status... will open the status page with an option to download encrypted logs for debugging.



Connected (Green) Status 

If the Status is green, it 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

If the Status is yellow, it indicates that the student client is unable to connect to LanSchool Air due to a restriction. 



The client may be unable to connect to the servers due to:
  1. The student is attempting to connect outside of your organization's active hours.
  2. The student's public IP address is not in the acceptable range according to your organization’s IP range constraints configuration.
  3. 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 Status is red, the student client has not been provisioned to your LanSchool Air organization. 



The client may not be provisioned due to:
  1. Your organization's provisioning window being closed. Have the Site Admin open the provisioning window.
  2. The client was installed incorrectly and the correct provisioning code parameter was not set (Windows/Mac only).
  3. A firewall or content filter is blocking the connection to LanSchool Air's servers. Ensure your organization has followed the network requirements.
