Customer ID By default, in an IR environment, each IR Clicker is assigned a
unique string of six numbers. This numeric string is the transmitter's ID. Any
IR Clicker can be used with any InterWrite PRS installation. Programmable IR
Clickers are different in that they can be programmed with unique IDs that
will be accepted and recognized by only one InterWrite PRS system—the
InterWrite PRS system whose Customer ID matches the one used to program
the IR Clickers. So, for example, if an elementary school teacher wants to
have an IR Clicker for each child in her class that is numbered in a way that's
easy for the children to identify and remember, she can purchase Program-
mable IR Clickers that can be assigned unique IDs, which are associated with
the Customer ID of her InterWrite PRS system, and which cannot be used
with any other InterWrite PRS system. That unique Customer ID is entered
here in this field.
If the Customer ID gets changed, click on the Set to Default button to return
the Customer ID to its original assignment.
Default Data Directory This Preference shows the current location of the
Data Directory. Click on the Browse button if you want to navigate to a
different directory location for the Exports, Gradebook, Lessons, Reports,
ResponseMap, Roster, Session, and Settings folders.
Default System Font By default, the display font used throughout the
PRS system in Windows is Comic Sans MS. The default font on the Mac is
Arial. Click on the Down Arrow to display a list of the fonts installed on
the computer.
Font Preview When you select a font from the drop-down list, an
example of the font selection is displayed here. Click on the second Set
to Default button to return to the default system font when PRS is
restarted.
Use this File Menu option to exit and close the PRS application.
