OFFICE SETUP

Our office space at Pack Forest consists of one large classroom and some smaller adjoining rooms. The large room is used as our office. The others are set up as our library/classroom/meeting room/map room. Some preliminary setup work will be done prior to the first day at Pack. This includes setting up the network and moving the equipment down to Pack Forest. Also, the computers should already be loaded with software and ready to go. This is done by CFR staff. Additional work includes setting up computers, digitizers, and printers, organizing the workspace, and many other tasks. It is to the class' advantage to finish these tasks quickly so that more time can be spent preparing for the field.

For technical information on setting up the digitizers, printers, and the network, see the FE Handbook on the FE 450 page.
