Wireless access point
An access point is essential to any wireless network. In the TI-Navigator™
system, the access point lets the computer communicate with the
TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ wireless cradles, which communicate with the
students’ handhelds. Normally, your access point is configured with the
Setup Wizard when you first set up your classroom network.
If you need to replace a TI-Navigator™ access point because of a problem
or failure, you must disconnect the old access point, disconnect the
cradles, add a new access point, and then reconnect the cradles.
Disconnecting the access point
Before you disconnect an access point, first make sure you remove the
wireless cradles from the network.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the TI-Navigator™ access point.
2. Disconnect the power adapter from the access point.
The Network Status window displays the message “Access point
disconnected.”
Adding the access point
1. Ensure that the TI-Navigator™ access point:
– Is properly connected to the computer with the USB cable
– Is connected to a power adapter that is plugged into an AC
power outlet.
2. Click
Actions > Check Access Point, or click .
3. Click OK.
TI-Nspire™ Network Manager finds the access point and displays a
status window.
