2. Each User must now enter their three letter code which is displayed at
the side of their name.
Sequence: There is a feedback sequence that will occur via the LED lights
located on the ACTIVote device.
User enters first letter - Red light goes out, Green is still on
User enters second letter - Red light comes on, Green goes out
User enters third letter - Red light goes out, Green light flashes then goes out
At the end of this sequence the User Name will update in the software program
and display in green to indicate that the device has been allocated successfully
to the user.
If the User name remains red then the device has not been allocated correctly -
this is usually due to mis-keying letters. Ask the user to try once more taking
care to follow the correct procedure and key in the correct letters.
POINT TO CONSIDER
If someone enters a code by mistake, that has already been allocated to a
different user then two things will occur:
• The user who just submitted the code will not be successful and their
User Name will remain highlighted in red.
• The user who already entered that code successfully will no longer be
associated with that device and their User Name will revert to red once
more.
This is open to misuse of course in that a malicious user may purposely 'wipe
out' another users device allocation. More probably it could happen if a user
misreads his/her code by mistake.
If this happens then both users must re-enter their correct codes.
Once all users have successfully entered their codes you need to click on the
Back button located at the lower right hand corner of the screen. You will be
returned to the initial view of the Device Allocation program.
