Installing AlphaBeam on Macintosh OS 10 Computers

1. Do one of the following:
• Insert the AlphaBeam CD that came with your USB-IR-pod into the
CD drive on your computer.
• Go to www.renlearn.com/neo/downloads/ in your Web browser, find
the AlphaBeam download links, and click the link for OS 10.
2. If you are using the CD, copy the AlphaBeam for OS X folder onto your
computer. The AlphaBeam program is in this folder.
If you are downloading the program, an alphabeam_osxb3 folder will be
extracted onto your computer. This folder contains the AlphaBeam
program.
3. If you are using an AlphaSmart IR Pod, connect it to your computer if you
haven't already done so.
4. Double-click AlphaBeam in the folder that you copied or extracted to start
the program.
5. Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Make sure Receive text
using infrared (wireless) is checked. In the Infrared connection via
drop-down list, choose the type of infrared connection—Built-in IrDA
Transceiver, Modem or Printer (for a Mac IR pod), or USB IR Wireless
pod. You're now ready to start using AlphaBeam to receive files from your
NEO.
If you have a NEO 2, you can use it as you would use a Renaissance
Responder if you have a Renaissance Receiver connected to your computer.
This means students can use NEO 2 to send responses to assignments in
AccelTest software or Accelerated Math RP software, and you can use it with
the 2Know! Toolbar. Students can also take Accelerated Reader RP quizzes on
NEO 2 laptops.
A Renaissance Receiver comes with your kit if you have ordered a
SmartOption Mobile Lab. You can also use Receivers that you purchased
separately with a 2Know! kit.
The following procedures describe how to connect the Receiver and how to
assign a unique name to your Receiver so that NEO 2 users can find it and
connect to it.
