Test Wireless Connection
You may test the strength of the wireless connection between your computer
and any other member of the wireless network using the Maestro tool. Follow
these steps to test the wireless connection:
1. Highlight one of the other computers in the Symphony Network Map.
The Symphony Network Map should list all of the other members of the
wireless network that are within range.
2. Click <Select> to perform the link test.
Maestro will rate the connection strength as “Excellent,” “Good”,” or “Poor,”
depending on the results of the test.
Note that double-clicking one of the entries in the Symphony Network Map
will also open the Test Wireless Connection window.
Remote Drive Sharing
From within the Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool, you can assign a
remote drive a drive letter on the local computer. For example, the C: drive of
a remote computer may be assigned to the I: drive of the local computer. Once
this remote drive share has been established, the remote drive will appear to be
another drive in the local computer’s My Computer icon.
This process is also called “mapping” a network drive. A mapped network
drive automatically reestablishes the connection each time the computer is
restarted. You can establish drive letters for not only remote shared drives, but
also for remote shared directories.
To create a remote drive share, follow these steps:
1. Open the Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool and refer to the Sym-
phony Network Map.
2. Highlight the name of the remote computer to which you want to attach.
3. Click the <Select> button (alternatively, you may simply double-click the
name of the remote computer).
