Question 2: During a training presentation the program freezes or drops out. What causes this?

Answer 2:

Training Department uses Adobe Flash.   Flash requires a fair amount of bandwidth and a constant connection to stream the content.  To improve your training experience, see the steps below:

 

1.       Make sure you have current versions of Flash and Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx

Adobe Flash Player - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

 

2.       Use a hardwired connection to your router or switch

Local wireless (wi-fi) and wireless broadband connections do not always provide the consistent bandwidth required by Adobe Flash

 

3.       Shared internet connections may reduce your available bandwidth

If you are sharing an internet connection with others in a home or office, the speed of your connection will be dependent upon the others using the internet at the same time.  If they are using a bandwidth intensive application or downloading a large file, it may interfere with your connection

 

Consult your Network Manager or IT professional about ways to give priority to your connection (QOS) or talk to your ISP about faster download speeds
