This section gives additional information about the TI-Nspire™
Navigator™ wireless cradles, and steps on how to add or disconnect the
access point.
Wireless cradles
Identifying selected wireless cradles
At times you may have a problem with one or two TI-Nspire™
Navigator™ wireless cradles in your network that aren’t responding.
When you look at the list of cradles in the TI-Nspire™ Network Manager
window, you can identify which ones are not responding by the Status
message, and you can see the serial numbers.
You could match the serial numbers in the window with the ones printed
on the back of each wireless cradle. However, TI-Nspire™ Network
Manager gives you an easier way to physically locate them. You can use
the
Identify selected command to quickly tell which cradles are working
properly in your classroom.
1. From the list of hardware components in the TI-Nspire™ Network
Manager window, click to select all of the working cradles. To select
more than one cradle, press and hold the Shift or Ctrl key, and click
the items you want to select.
2. Click
Actions > Identify Selected.
3. Look around your classroom at the cradles in your network. Both
LEDs on the cradles that you selected will blink rapidly with a green
color. You can identify the cradles that are not working because their
LEDs are not blinking.
Now that you know where the non-working cradles are, you can add the
cradles to the network again.
Removing cradles from an existing network
Even though a classroom network has been set up correctly, sometimes
you may need to remove TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ wireless cradles from
the network.
You might need to remove cradles because your access point has been
associated with cradles that should belong to another classroom.
