The File/Printer Sharing screen allows you to create, delete, or edit drive map-
pings (also known as remote drive shares) used by the computer for the
selected profile.
To make a new drive share, click <Create Map> and assign a drive letter and
network path (if necessary, click <Select> to browse the network for the loca-
tion of the drive you want to share).
To delete or edit an existing drive mapping, highlight one of the entries in the
Drive Mapping table and click the appropriate button.
To change a profile’s default printer, select another installed printer from the
Default Printer drop-down menu.
Miscellaneous
The Miscellaneous option determines which Proxim programs are automati-
cally launched when a computer is restarted using the selected profile. “Mae-
stro” corresponds to the Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool. “EConduct”
corresponds to the Symphony Conductor Modem Sharing Software for wire-
less networks that share a high-speed Internet connection or communicate
with another network. “Conductr” corresponds to the Symphony Conductor
Modem Sharing Software for wireless networks that share a dial-up modem.
“Statmon” corresponds to the RangeLAN2 Status Monitor; this program is not
applicable for Symphony HomeRF devices.
For the Symphony Profile, you want the Symphony Maestro and Conductor
programs to be launched automatically but not the RangeLAN2 Status Moni-
tor, so the Maestro, EConduct, and Conductr entries should have a check mark
and the Statmon entry should not.
Note:
A Windows 2000 Professional computer does not have the
EConduct and Conductr entries.
For a profile that does not communicate with a Symphony network (such as a
profile that uses a wired Ethernet card), then none of these entries should have
a check mark; this will prevent these programs from loading automatically
when not needed.
