System ID and License Key

The device’s system ID and license key are displayed in the lower left corner of the System Options & Support window. You may need this information if you contact the Service department.


System Options

Go to Menu > Toolbox > System Settings > System Options & Support. The System Options & Support window will open to the System Options tab.

The System Options & Support window shows the System Options tab selected and displays the following settings: Integrated device Mode, Switch to NuVoice, Upgrade Features via USB, and Permission for Anonymous Data Sharing. The window also displays your System ID and License key.

Integrated Device Mode

Important: Most funding sources require that an Accent® device be shipped as a dedicated communication device. This means that access to some of the extended features is limited. To use Integrated Device Mode, the device needs to be unlocked by purchasing an Integrated Feature Pack (IFP). For more information on purchasing an IFP, contact Sales at 800.262.1933 or sales@prentrom.com.

Once you have purchased an IFP, access Windows and other external processes by selecting the Integrated Device Mode on/off toggle button:

Integrated Device Mode is toggled on. = the device is in Integrated Device Mode (non-dedicated)

Integrated Device Mode is toggled off. = the device is in Dedicated Device Mode and cannot access Windows and other external processes

Switch to NuVoice

If you want to switch your device from Empower software to NuVoice software, select Launch NuVoice.

Upgrade Features via USB

To upgrade Empower software features, insert the USB flash drive that contains the extended features and select Upgrade.

Permission for Anonymous Data Sharing

When you first installed the Empower software, you were given the choice to share or not share software usage data with developers. If change your mind, use this option to toggle the data sharing permission on or off.

Permission for Anonymous Data Sharing is turned on. = you give permission for software usage data to be shared anonymously with developers

Permission for Anonymous Data Sharing is turned off. = you do not give permission for software usage data to be shared anonymously with developers
