Once you get logged in to PointSolutions go to the gear icon in the bottom right corner.</span></div> <div><img src="/images/group406/105159/Step1.png" width="641" height="384" alt="Poinstolutions page" style="border-style: solid;"></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;">2.) Once that window opens, select the <strong>"Connections"</strong> tab on the upper left side of the window.</span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div> <div><img src="/images/group406/105159/Step21.png" width="765" height="612" alt="Left side of settings window" style="border-style: solid;"></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;">3.) Once in that tab look for the button labeled <strong>"Test"</strong> (it should be under the <strong>"Polling Connections"</strong>). Then select it.</span></div> <div></div> <div><img src="/images/group406/105159/Step22.png" width="1029" height="323" alt="Test Button" style="border-style: solid;"></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;">4.) A polling test window should open, once it does push any answer on the clicker or clickers you want to test. I recommend doing one at a time so you are able to correctly identify them.</span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><img src="/images/group406/shared/TrainingAndWorkshops/ClickNum4.png" title="Polling Test Window" alt="Polling Test Window" style="border-style: solid;" width="383" height="242"></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;">5.) As you start to put answers on the devices, they should start appearing like the image below, take note of the device ID for each clicker that is tested, you will need that in a minute.</span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span><img src="/images/group406/shared/TrainingAndWorkshops/ClickNum5.png" title="Answers Appearing from Devices" alt="Answers Appearing from Devices" style="border-style: solid;" width="383" height="241"></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;">6.) Finally, you will have the student or owner of the clicker sign into their P</span>ointSolutions<span style="font-family: Arial;"> account and look under the <strong>"Response Devices"</strong>. If the clicker ID matches then the user is good to go. If the number doesn’t match, remove that clicker with the x in the top right corner of that clicker box. Then go under <strong>"Add/Purchase a Clicker"</strong> and add the correct clicker ID.</span></div> <div></div> <div><img src="/images/group406/105159/step6.png" width="741" height="416" alt="Clicker under Response Devices" style="border-style: solid;"></div></div></div></div><br style="clear:both;"><hr class="kbhr1"><div class="doc-info"><div class="doc-attr keywords"><div class="doc-attr-name">Keywords:</div><div class="doc-attr-value"><span id="kb-page-keywords">Echo PointSolutions, echo 360, echo360 account, echo point solutions account, TurningClassic, Turning, TC, TurningClassic Account, Turning Account, Account, clickers, clicker, response ware, responseware, polling, desktop, desktop software, clicker number, instructor resources, desktop version</span>  <span id="suggestk-button"><button class="feedback-btn-link" onclick="suggestK(105159,'Verifying+a+Clicker+Number+-+Desktop+Version','Echo+PointSolutions%2C+echo+360%2C+echo360+account%2C+echo+point+solutions+account%2C+TurningClassic%2C+Turning%2C+TC%2C+TurningClassic+Account%2C+Turning+Account%2C+Account%2C+clickers%2C+clicker%2C+response+ware%2C+responsew');">Suggest keywords</button></span><div id="suggestk" aria-expanded="false" style="clear:both; float:left; width:50%;"></div><div id="ks-thank-you" role="status" aria-live="polite" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" style="display:none;">We appreciate your suggestion.
