What is the LogIn Application?

The LogIn handheld software application (App) is used with the
TI-Navigator™ classroom network (version 1.0 or later). The LogIn
App must be installed on the student devices if you require
students to log in to the network.

The LogIn App works with the Require Device Login option in the
Class Connect and Class Analysis portions of the TI-Navigator
software. If you require students to log in, the students' user names
are listed in the LogIn/Device ID column of the Transferring
window. If you do not require students to log in, only device IDs are
listed in the LogIn/Device ID column.

When you require device login, the individual LogIn App user
names are appended to each file name that you receive from
students. This lets you easily identify fi les received from students
when the files are stored on a computer. Otherwise, only the
device ID is appended to the file name when students transfer files
to you.

When a student logs in, a signal is sent to the TI-Navigator
classroom network that he or she is ready to transfer files.

TI-89/TI-92 Plus / Voyage™ 200 PLT LogIn App Page 3

Use the LogIn App when you need to:

• send information to or receive information from specific
students;

• know which students have retrieved assignments;

• send an assignment to one or more tardy students without

interrupting the students who are working on the assignment;

• ensure an assignment is completed by all students before you
collect it;

• ensure each student has returned one assignment before
receiving the next assignment;

• identify students' files by Username when the files are stored
on a computer.

TI-Navigator™ network hub or to a computer.

2. Using the Class Connect or Class Analysis portions of the
TI-Navigator software, open the Transferring window. The
Transferring window must be open on the computer before

Exiting the Login Screen

TI-89/TI-92 Plus / Voyage™ 200 PLT LogIn App Page 7

Username Rules and Suggestions

The Username:

• can include letters from A to Z;

• can include numbers from 0 to 9;

• can contain a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters or

spaces;

• must contain a minimum of 3 alphanumeric characters or
spaces.

Take some time to develop a plan for creating user names so each
student's name is unique yet easy to identify. This is important
because a duplicate Username may cause confusion when viewing
transfer status or viewing lists of files that have been collected.

For example, you might use the sequence of last name, first and
middle initial, and perhaps i nclude the number of the class period
or the student's grade level. If you still have a dupl icate name, you
could spell out the first or middle name or add a numeric identifier
in some way.

TI-89/TI-92 Plus / Voyage™ 200 PLT LogIn App Page 8

Username Meaning

WilliamsJD 3 10 James Douglas William s, 3r d per iod, 10th grade
WilliamsJT 4 10 Jacob Tanner Wil liam s, 4t h per iod, 10th grade

If you are doing group work, you can identify group members by
preceding names with a number. This will make it easy to sort files
by group on the computer.

TI-89/TI-92 Plus / Voyage™ 200 PLT LogIn App Page 9

Application Variable

The handheld device stores the Username as an application
variable (AppVar) called loginid NLGN. The first successful log in
creates the loginid NLGN AppVar. The next successful log in on
the handheld device, whether from the same or a different student,
overwrites the contents of the loginid NLGN AppVar.

Neither the loginid NLGN AppVar nor a database validates the

Username. A student could enter a different user name each time.
