Assign and transfer audio from a DLP to LENA Collector: NEW Child

After you connect the DLP to the computer, the DLP assignment screen appears.  Assigning the recording to a child initiates audio transfer.

Follow these steps to assign a recording when the child is NOT already in your LENA Collector Client Manager list.

Note: New Child records can also be added in advance of DLP connection using Client Manager.  You can preload your database, add children in-line with transfers, or adopt a hybrid approach - whatever is most convenient for you.

1. Connect the DLP and wait for the DLP Assignment window.
