System Requirements

Confirm the Windows host, network, browser, and audio connection before installing Campus Bell.

Before You Begin

  • A current browser on an administrator computer that can reach the Campus Bell server.

Requirements

  1. Install Campus Bell on the Windows computer that will remain on during the school day.

  3. Confirm the Windows clock and time zone are correct.
  4. Have an approved WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, or OGG bell file ready.

Expected Result

The host is ready for installation and has a tested physical audio path to the existing PA.
