Bowen EHSCan't get the button like the one below to start the Virtual Classroom on your PC or Mac?
- Click the one-time launcher file link below the button. It should look similar to the example above.
- Open / run the file that is downloaded. This should start the Virtual Classroom. Occasionally it may update Electa on your device. If you don't have permission to install programs or apps on your device, you'll need to get your IT staff to do that for you.

2. Check For Open Ports
Below are the results of testing to see if your device can properly communicate with the network ports that Electa's servers use.
What You Need
- One green checkbox
- Your computer/device time to be within one minute (1:00) of the ports' time in green.
3. Firewalls
Firewalls and other internet security devices can make it difficult for Electa to communicate with your device.These devices can be set to block incoming and outgoing traffic. They can also be set to only allow certain connections from specific sites or servers.
Use the information in the following link to allow the correct ports and servers to be allowed to connect with your device.
4. Proxy Servers
These change the IP address between you and Electa.
