Sharing Software Applications
Most software designed for home use does not support operation over a net-
work. This means that only a computer which has the program installed on its
local hard drive can use the program. Consult the application’s user guide to
determine if it supports operation over a network.
Even if you can share a program over the network, keep in mind that generally
when you purchase software applications, you are authorized by the software
manufacturer to install and run a single copy of that application on a single
computer. Some software applications are designed to prevent simultaneous
use. Please refer to the software license agreement for restrictions on network
use or contact the manufacturer for information on a network-enabled version
of the software.
Using Fax Software
If you are sharing a dial-up analog modem, then the Symphony Conductor will
support other modem applications, such as fax software or answering machine
software, in Single User mode. Single User mode allows you to use the shared
modem to send a fax from a remote computer on the network.
Sharing a Scanner with the Home Network
A wireless network can only share a scanner that supports operation over a
network. Refer to the scanner’s documentation or contact the scanner’s manu-
facturer to determine if your scanner is network-enabled.
