Apple eMate 300: Disabling Classroom Exchange Server Autostart Feature

The autostart feature is based on its performance as a Newton Server in the classroom environment, and it is designed to startup at startup. However, the Admin will only ask for the location of the server file if it can't find it. Once the Admin application has been launched once, then you move the file, the Mac OS keeps track of the move and you never get the dialog.

Below are two ways of deactivating the autostart feature.

1) Turn off the server before quitting Classroom Exchange.

2) Click the Stop Server button in the eMate Classroom Exchange Status window.

This turns off the server and disables the autostart feature. If you quit Classroom Exchange before turning the server off, the server continues to operate even though the program is not running.

Here is another workaround to prevent Classroom Exchange from activating at system startup.

1) Move the file "Classroom Exchange Server" located in the System Folder: Extensions Folder to the "eMate Classroom Exchange" folder located in your hard disk.

2) Start the Classroom Exchange Server by opening the Classroom Exchange Admin application. The Admin application presents a dialog, asking you to locate the Classroom Exchange Server file.

3) Locate the Classroom Exchange Server file in the Classroom Exchange folder.

4) Click OK.
