Infrared Setup
1.
Turn off your computer.
2.
If you have a serial pod and a PC, plug the pod into one
of your computer's COM ports. If you have a Mac, plug
the serial pod into either the modem or printer port.
3.
Install the AlphaBeam software from the CD-Rom or
download from our website at www.alphasmart.co.uk.
Go through the install wizard, following directions and
making the appropriate choices. You will find more
detailed instructions on our website or on the CD-Rom
in AlphaBeam.doc.
During the install process, you will be asked to
choose the type of Infrared support you want:
"AlphaSmart Only" or "Windows Drivers". If you
choose "Windows Drivers" one of the screens
asks for the manufacturer and model number of
your IR pod. The manufacturer is "ACTiSYS"
and the model number is "ACT-IR220L Infrared
Wireless Interface".
4.
After installation is complete, reboot your computer,
launch AlphaBeam and then launch a word processing
document on top of the AlphaBeam window.
5.
On the AlphaSmart, open the file you want to send to
your computer and point your AlphaSmart at the IR pod.
Press the send key once. Wait up to 10 seconds and
your text should appear in the word processing
document.
