This chapter explains how to perform some common tasks in the AlphaSmart
Manager software that came with your NEO. For complete information about
AlphaSmart Manager, refer to the AlphaSmart Manager User Manual. (If
you do not have a printed copy, you'll find this manual on our Web site or the
Documentation CD for NEO 1 and NEO 2.)
Some AlphaSmart Manager capabilities are meant to help you manage and
maintain a group of NEOs connected to an AlphaHub in a SmartOption
Mobile Lab. However, some features are also useful for those who have just
one NEO. This chapter focuses on AlphaSmart Manager procedures that you
may use often.
AlphaSmart Manager is a program that you install and use on the computer
that you plan to use with your NEO(s). It helps you manage files, change NEO
settings, and control which SmartApplets are installed and enabled on your
NEO(s). Although you can perform some of the same tasks on the NEO itself,
AlphaSmart Manager can make some tasks easier. AlphaSmart Manager
provides these advantages:
• You can make the same setting, password, or SmartApplet changes for
more than one NEO. (You can even choose to make them for some NEOs
and not others.)
• You can transfer files from your computer to the NEO.
• You can transfer up to eight files from NEO to your computer at the same
time (as opposed to sending the files one at a time by pressing send on the
NEO).
• You can save send lists so that you can easily make the same changes to
NEOs again later.
