 How to load “SamMenu” (the SHSU Administrative Menu):

1.           Go to http://www.shsu.edu/faculty/menu.html
2.           Scroll down to “Installation Instructions (Off-Campus Users only)”
3.           Select the correct “Menu Set-up” for your browser (Explorer or Netscape)

Firewalls:

If the icon appears on the desktop but does not open, the problem is most likely a firewall.   Your campus/district Computer Services Department will need the following information to allow you to access the program. The specific port that needs to be opened is port 5000, and the I.P. address is 158.135.1.2.   If the program works initially but then “unexpectedly” stops working, port 5000 has probably been closed and the campus should contact their Computer Services Department to have it reopened.
