5. Under the other options D, check the boxes for any of the settings you’d
like to enable:
• Use 8.3 naming convention: If this box is checked, when you save
files, NEO Manager will limit your file names to eight characters before
the dot and three after it (as in homework.txt). (The three characters
after the dot identify the file type, such as “txt” for text files.)
• Connection status display setting: If this is checked, the connection
status at the bottom of the NEO Manager window will be open as soon
as you start NEO Manager. If the box is not checked, you can still view
the connection status by clicking the + (Windows) or (Macintosh) at
the bottom of the window. (The connection status shows how many
NEOs are connected and their status.)
• Replace SmartApplets on device with SmartApplets from
Computer: When this is checked, if you choose to send a
SmartApplet to a NEO and the NEO already has it installed, the new
version of the SmartApplet from NEO Manager will overwrite the
version on your NEO. This means sending SmartApplets can take
more time, but you can be sure all your NEOs are using the same
version.
For example, if you have some NEOs with AlphaWord Plus and some
without, and you install AlphaWord with this preference checked, NEO
Manager will install AlphaWord Plus on all connected NEOs, even
those that already have it. NEO Manager overwrites the existing
version on those NEOs.
6. Use the drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box
E to choose
whether to use the default system software for NEO or a specific version.
Usually you would only use this preference with assistance from Technical
Support.
7. When you have finished making preference changes, click OK (Windows)
or close the dialog box (Macintosh).
Resetting All Connected NEOs
You can reset all connected NEO 1s or NEO 2s to the configuration they had
when you first received them. This removes all text in files 1–8 on the NEOs,
restores all default settings, and removes any SmartApplets except for the
standard ones:
• AlphaWord Plus
• Responder (NEO 2 only)
• Accelerated Reader (NEO 2 only)
