Installing the Avidanet Tenjin system on a RM system
Due to certain limitations of the CC3 systems from RM we had to adapt the installation
procedure for our software in certain points, this to be able to easy install the Tenjin system
on an RM platform.
This is a brief description of the steps to follow to successfully install the Avidanet Tenjin®
system on a CC3 platform.
1) Personal workspace for students
 The CC3 platform doesn’t allow students to have any access to the C drive. All data is
save in the MyDocuments folder. This folder is located on the server for each student,
so if a student saves something it is automatically saved on the server. When video is
copied to student PC’s it is distributed over the Tenjin network and saved on the local
PC. In this case the video of all students is sent over the network and saved on the
server, this causes a heavy network load and problems with the real time aspect of the
video distribution.
 When we want to confine the network load and guarantee the real time aspect of our
video distribution we have to save on the local PC. Normally we just create a directory
on the C: drive to save the Tenjin material. With the CC3 platform students don’t have
access to the C: drive, so there we need a special solution
Solution: we use a network drive that points to the local hard drive
Steps to follow:
(Remark: this procedure has to be done on each student PC)
1) Log in to the student PC as administrator
2) Create a directory on the C: drive where you want to save the Tenjin data
 E.g. C:\Tenjin$
3) Students need to have full access rights to this directory because they need to
have the possibility to save their work.
 !! IMPORTANT access rights have to be adapted when the folder is
created.
 Right click on the folder and give full control rights to users group
4) After the folder is created it has to be shared
 Right click right on the folder and enable sharing

6) Add the network drive to the students explorer:
 With the RM management console
 Right click on the group that represents the laboratory
 Click on the network drive tab
 Choose option Add
 Choose a drive letter for the mapping of the drive
 Uncheck the box standard server names
 First box: (server): fill in 127.0.0.1
This address refers to localhost, so each machine will look on its own to map
the network drive
 Second box: (directory): fill in the directory you have chosen to use to save
the Tenjin data
e.g. fill in Tenjin$
o If you have following error on a station: client (student grey
box) pops up and immediately disappears and closes down then
there is a problem with the access rights on the shared directory.
The client closes down because it cannot write in the directory,
to avoid crashes the client automatically closes down. Check
out the access rights on the directory and on the share and make
sure that the users that have to work with the Tenjin have access
rights on this directory.

2) Problem with shortcuts
 The CC3 platform doesn’t allow using shortcuts for the students. In the Televic
Tenjin system we normally use shortcuts with command line parameters to
start up the system. We have to use this command line parameter because the
system must have the possibility to “know” the difference between the
students.
 Solution:
We have added an RM parameter to the clientcfg.xml file to be able to make
the difference between the students.
This parameter has to be adapted manually on each student pc: 01 for pc1, 02 for pc2,
03 for pc3, 04 for pc4, …
!!!IMPORTANT: To launch the Tenjin system at the student side we have to run the
avidanetstudent.exe program located in the C:\program files\artec\client directory. If
you use packages a shortcut to this exe file has to be made and with the RM
management console this shortcut must be allocated to a program set that the users of
the lab can see.
For the teacher this solution cannot be used, so we have to use another solution to be
able to start up the Tenjin system. However this is not a problem because the teacher
profiles have sufficient access rights to be able to use the normal solution: working

with a batch file. In the c:\program files\artec\client directory of the teacher we create
a batch file with following contents:
Avidanetstudent.exe –posi PCTeacher
Avidanetstudent.exe –posi teacher
Now a shortcut to this bat file can be allocated to a program set used for the teaching
staff.
3) Available packages for CC3 system
Tenjin Codec
=> This package installs the Artec MPEG4 codec, this codec is needed when you want
to play video files that are recorded with the Tenjin system. Once this codec is
installed, you can play our video clips with all known media players
=> Has to be installed on: all student PC's + teacher PC
DotNet
=> This package installs the DotNet framework that is required to run the TCC and
Vacs program
=> Has to be installed on: all student PC's + teacher PC
DirectX9
=> This package installs the DirectX9 driver files, these are required to run the VACS
program.
