network, you may want to turn off Automatic Search and specify which
Manager the Server should connect to. Otherwise, the Server connects to the
first Manager it finds.

turned on, specifies the subnet mask used to search for the Manager. With
Automatic Search turned off, specifies the IP address or DNS name of the
Manager to which to connect. Use the Manager system's name or IP address

Queue Monitor
The Queue Monitor Application
Windows Start menu > Programs > Autodesk > Backburner > Monitor
The Queue Monitor application (monitor.exe) lets you manage, view, and receive
status updates about all jobs currently submitted to the network rendering
queue. This executable file is copied to the Backburner root directory during
setup, and is available from the Start menu.
NOTE In previous versions of 3ds Max, this program was called Queue Manager
.
Queue Monitor helps you adapt to changing needs and priorities. Jobs can be
activated, deactivated, reordered, and removed, and servers can be unassigned
to free up resources on workstations, or brought back online as they become
available again.
You can run Queue Monitor from any computer connected to the rendering
network. Once started, you can connect to any available network Manager.
You can launch as many Queue Monitors as you want from anywhere on your
network and connect to a Manager machine. All except the first Queue Monitor
connecting to the Manager appear in "read only" mode. If there is already a
Queue Monitor connected to the Manager, subsequent connections alert you
that you are in read-only mode, and "Read Only" appears in the title bar. In
read-only mode, you can view network render activity, but cannot change
anything in the queue unless you
obtain queue control on page 6325 .
