 The ICT Lab setup for CLIx is majorly using computers and peripherals. The computer either be a desktop or laptops are connected all together in a LAN setup to each other, having the same IP range via a switch in case wired or wifi router in case of wireless LAN setup. One (or two) of the computers with higher configuration (details provided in the requirement document) will act as a server machine and the remaining machine will act as a client machine. So the offline LAN setup follows a Client-Server architecture model where the server will host, manage and deliver the contents to the client machines as per the requests.

The primary requirement for lab preparedness and maintenance is having the experience of using the computer, and mainly the basic knowledge about Ubuntu and Windows operating systems. Having any further proficiency will be an added advantage.With basic knowledge of computer know-how, the provided document and help resources will ease the setup and maintenance of the lab for daily usage and keeping it functional.
