Installing Faronics Insight on iOS devices
Faronics Insight provides free Student and Teacher Assistant for the Apple iPad, iPhone, or iPod.
The capabilities described below will only work with an existing Faronics Insight v7.5 or greater
environment.
Installation
The Student install is a simple download from Apple's iTunes App Store. The Teacher’s Assistant
install is a two step process.
1. From the device, download and install the Insight Teacher’s Assistant from the App Store.
2. Pair the Teacher’s Assistant with a Insight Teacher’s console running on either a Windows or
Mac computer.
Pairing the Teacher’s Assistant with a Teacher Console
Pairing the Teacher’s Assistant with a Teacher Console is a critical step for the following reasons:
• The Teacher’s Assistant will not discover Students unless it is first paired with a Teacher
console.
• The settings to restrict students Internet access or limit application usage are read from the
Teacher’s Console.
To Pair the iOS Teacher’s Assistant to a Teacher Console
1. Launch the Insight Teacher console on a Windows or Mac computer.
2. From the Administer menu, select Manage Teacher's Assistants. A window will be launched
from which the iOS device will be authorized.
3. Connect the iOS device to the organization’s wireless network.
4. Launch the Teacher’s Assistant by clicking on the Teacher icon on the iOS device.
5. The iOS device will discover and list the available Teacher machines on the network. Select the
appropriate Teacher machine from the list.
6. A passcode will be generated and displayed on the iOS device.
7. In the Manage Teacher's Assistants dialog on the PC or Mac, the iOS device will appear in the
window. Select the device and click Authorize.
8. Type in the Passcode that was generated on the iOS device and click OK.
Once the Teacher’s Assistant has been paired with the Teacher’s Console, the pairing will
automatically occur whenever the Assistant is launched. To stop pairing the iOS device to a
Teacher, select the iOS device in the Manage Teacher’s Assistants menu and click Remove.
With the pairing complete, the Teacher’s Assistant will discover all of the Student computers on
the Teacher’s channel and download the appropriate feature settings. At this point the Teacher’s
Assistant will be able to perform the features even if the Teacher’s Console is closed. However, if
the Teacher’s Assistant app is closed, you must start the Teacher’s Console on the Mac or PC
before re-starting the Teacher’s Assistant app.
