Stations are computers added to the system, which are identified by their IP addresses. These computers can be used as workstations to fill out data entry or display information for a specific activity.

IMPORTANT

CAE LearningSpace assigns IP addresses dynamically to devices. The system uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, DHCP, in short.
The IP address assigned with DHCP is associated with a lease and has an expiration period. If the lease is not renewed, a device will be assigned a new IP address. 
The IP addresses featured on the Stations tab are not dynamically updated, which means you have to add to the system each computer again whose IP address changed. 

Station types

You can choose between three kinds of station settings:

  1. Hallway Station: A computer located outside but near the simulation room; for learners to submit their checklists.
  2. In-room Station: A computer located inside the simulation room; for SPs to submit their checklists. 
  3. Additional Station: A computer to display the door note of the activity or store the data logs of third-party simulators.
