Before You Begin

When you launch a new version of the TI‑Nspire™ CX Navigator™ Teacher Software for the first time, the TI‑Nspire™ CX Navigator™ System Startup wizard opens and guides you through the automated process to set up your wireless classroom. Before you begin the wireless set up process:

Make sure you have installed and activated the TI‑Nspire™ CX Navigator™ Teacher Software on your computer.
If you are using TI‑Nspire™ Navigator™ wireless cradles, make sure each cradle is charged ( LED is solid amber or solid green).

Note: If you are using TI‑Nspire™ wireless network adapters, you do not need to charge them. The wireless network adapters are powered by the handhelds.

Disconnect the TI‑Nspire™ Navigator™ access point or TI‑Nspire™ CX Navigator™ access point from your computer.

Automated System Startup

When you launch the software, the Startup wizard guides you through the steps needed to:

Update all student and classroom handhelds to the latest operating system (OS) version. The OS on the handhelds must match the software version installed on your computer.

Important! When updating the OS, handhelds must be connected to the computer using a USB cable or TI‑Nspire™ CX Docking Station.

Connect the access point and, if needed, update the access point firmware.
Name the class network.
If required, select a channel for the access point.
Add wireless clients to your network.
Create a backup copy of the class network configuration.
