4. If you want to set or change a password that will be required whenever
anyone sends changes to NEOs, click Set Send Password (Windows) or
Set Password (Macintosh)
C, enter the new password twice (and the old
password if necessary), and click OK.
5. Under the other options D, check the boxes for any of the settings you’d
like to enable:
• Use 8.3 naming convention: If this box is checked, when you save
files, AlphaSmart Manager will limit your file names to eight characters
before the dot and three after it (as in homework.txt). (The three
characters after the dot identify the file type, such as “txt” for text files.)
• Connection status display setting: If this is checked, the connection
status at the bottom of the AlphaSmart Manager window will be open
as soon as you start AlphaSmart Manager. If the box is not checked,
you can still view the connection status by clicking the + (Windows) or
(Macintosh) at the bottom of the window. (The connection status
shows how many NEOs are connected and their status.)
• Replace SmartApplets on device with SmartApplets from
Computer: When this is checked, if you choose to send a
SmartApplet to a NEO and the NEO already has it installed, the new
version of the SmartApplet from AlphaSmart Manager will overwrite
the version on your NEO. This means sending SmartApplets can take
more time, but you can be sure all your NEOs are using the same
version.
For example, if you have some NEOs with AlphaWord Plus and some
without, and you install AlphaWord with this preference checked,
AlphaSmart Manager will install AlphaWord Plus on all connected
NEOs, even those that already have it. AlphaSmart Manager
overwrites the existing version on those NEOs.
6. Use the drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box
E to choose
whether to use the default system software for NEO or a specific version.
This preference lets you go back to previous “point” releases of the
system files. For example, if your devices are running system 3.x, you
could step back to any prior 3.x version. Usually you would use this
preference with assistance from Technical Support.
7. When you have finished making preference changes, click OK (Windows)
or close the dialog box (Macintosh).
