5. Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool
The Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool lets you make changes to the
wireless network and monitor its current status.
After the Composer completes the installation of the wireless network, the
Maestro Configuration Tool will display a Symphony icon in the Windows
System Tray of each wireless computer. The icon’s appearance will depend on
which network configuration you have installed.
If you are using the Symphony Conductor to share a modem or communicate
with another network, then the icon will appear as shown below:
If you have a peer-to-peer wireless network that does not have shared access to
the Internet or to another network, then the icon will appear as shown below:
The icon will change colors to reflect different states of connectivity. For
example, the icon is blue and gray when a wireless computer can communicate
with the Symphony network or Conductor computer, and it is red when a wire-
less computer cannot communicate with the network.
Double-click the Symphony icon to launch the Maestro tool. Alternatively,
right-click the Symphony icon and choose Status, as shown in the following
example for a network sharing a dial-up modem:
