 Beep on Connect/Disconnect: Request to hear a quick series of three tones rising in
pitch whenever a remote connection succeeds. With this option, you also hear a series of
tones falling in pitch when the remote connection is terminated.
 Beep While Connected? Request to hear a short tone periodically, throughout the
duration of any remote connection. You can set the interval between beeps from 0 to
9999 seconds. If you set this field to 0, then it turns the beeping off completely.

Checking a box enables that class of notifications. Unchecking a box disables that class

 Show icon while connected?: Display (or hide) the PC-Duo Host tray icon when the
service is running and there is an active remote connection.
 Show icon while idle?: Display (or hide) the PC-Duo Host tray icon when the service is
running but there is no active remote connection.
 Station Name: Modify the name by which your Host computer identifies itself to PC-
Duo Gateways or PC-Duo Master users.
Host station name macros are now supported. The Host station name can include strings
in the form %MACRO%, and these macros are substituted at runtime for the correct
values. This complements the $MACRO$ feature in PHSETUP, which provides a one-
time substitution at PHSETUP runtime.
This feature may be useful when creating a Host image for deployment, either using the
Deployment Tool or via imaging of the entire disk. The macro names supported are:
