Network Communicating with Another Network
A network that uses the Conductor to communicate with another network
offers the following management and configuration features:
Monitor Communication with Remote Network:
Maestro reports the Symphony Conductor Status, which includes an icon of a
desktop computer that changes color to reflect different states of connectivity,
just like the Symphony Conductor icon in the Windows System Tray. This
feature is available on all network computers.
View Conductor Status: Click <Status> under the Symphony Conductor
Status heading to confirm the Conductor’s mode of operation. For networks
that communicate with another network, the Conductor’s status screen reports
that the Conductor is in Transparent Bridging mode only. This feature is avail-
able on all network computers (Conductor and clients).
Networking Features
The following Symphony Maestro features are available for all wireless net-
works regardless of configuration type.
Obtain Network Status Information
Click the <Status> button under the Symphony Network Status heading to
view the Wireless Status screen, which reports the number of packets sent and
received by the Symphony HomeRF adapter while communicating with the
wireless network.
Configure Network Parameters
Click <Configure> under the Symphony Network Status heading to display
the computer’s Setup screen where you may change the Security Code, the vir-
tual modem port number (if applicable), and which drives, directories, and
printers are available for sharing.
