You can also change
Beamer settings
using AlphaSmart
Manager. Click the Settings
tab and click Beamer in the
list on the left; then, make your
setting changes. Be sure to
send them from the Send List
tab. This is the most efficient
way to change Beamer
settings for several NEOs
connected to your computer in
a SmartOption Cart.
The Beamer settings allow you to customize how the program works. You can
change these settings:
• Choose whether to permit the NEO to send
• Choose whether NEO warns you if receiving data will overwrite what's on
the clipboard
• Choose whether to send to Palm OS devices in AlphaWord or Memo Pad
file format
• Choose whether to require a master password to change Beamer settings
on this NEO
If you're an individual user using Beamer, you probably won't need to change
your settings very often. If you're using several NEOs and Palm OS devices in
a group setting such as a classroom, you might want more control over who
can beam data and how.
Follow these steps to change Beamer settings:
1. On your NEO, press applets.
↓
2. Press to scroll down and move the cursor next to Beamer in the list;
then, press enter. The Beamer screen appears.
Select a Beaming function:
- Send
- Receive
- Settings
3. Move the cursor next to Settings and press enter.
4. Move the cursor next to the setting you want to change and press enter.
Since each setting has only two options, pressing enter automatically
chooses the option that isn't currently selected.
For example, if you move the cursor next to "Permit Send: YES" and
press enter, the setting will change to "Permit Send: NO."
There are four Beamer settings:
• Permit Send determines whether this NEO is allowed to beam to
other devices. You can choose "Yes" or "No." If you choose "No," the
Send option is not available on the Beamer screen. This setting is
useful if you don't want students to beam files to each other.
