Performed some basic testing today with the XS.<br>
<br>
Quite impressive.<br>
<br>
SPECS:<br>
1 x Linksys WRT54GL - DDWRT v24<br>
DELL Optiplex 755 - 160 GB, 2Gb Ram(that's all the specs I have for now)<br>
30 XO laptops<br>
<br>
Below is a summary of different things I tested to see how they worked - no<br>
science to what I did.<br>
<br>
1. PASS - Registered each XO and then hit ctrl-alt-erase to reboot sugar.<br>
All registered OK.<br>
2. PASS - Checked to see each XO was recognised in the neighbourhood view.<br>
Spot tests consistently re-affirmed this.<br>
3. PASS - Shared an activity and then had other XOs join. Includes accurate<br>
'huddling' around each activity. Spot check around room to confirm.<br>
4. PASS - Switched between activities whilst sharing. E.g. One person who<br>
was on Record, joined Jigsaw and this change was accurately reflected.<br>
5. PASS - When a person switched away from an activity (as opposed to<br>
exiting it) this was reflected in the neighbourhood view. Spot check around<br>
room to confirm.<br>
6. FAIL - Simulate dead battery - but cold shutting off a machine.<br>
Neighbourhood did not reflect this, showed they were still online. Had to<br>
restart, connect back to school server and shutdown properly to leave<br>
neighbourhood view. They way some of the kids are out in the deployment,<br>
they are still learning the whole shutdown/exit activity procedure, so this<br>
could pose a problem - though I understand how this could be hard to<br>
implement.<br>
7. FAIL - a reboot (full restart or ctrl-alt-erase) causes the rebooted<br>
machines not to accurately reflect who is part of a shared activity. Some<br>
rebooted machines reflected a more accurate picture than others, but none<br>
had the full picture. Kids will be going offline and online all the time in<br>
deployments so I can see how this could become a problem. Though this will<br>
be somewhat tempered by the ability to still share and view other XOs.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
