Step 5: Select Drives and Printers to Share
The Symphony Composer will generate a list of the computer’s hard drives,
CD-ROM drives, floppy drives, and printers that may be shared with other
computers on the cordless network. Simply check the box to the left of each
resource entry to allow other computers to access that particular resource
over the network, as shown in the example below.
Note that if you click the box to the left of a resource multiple times you can
toggle between several access levels that may be granted to remote users.
The options are Read/Write access, Read Only access, or no access. If you
configure a drive with Read/Write or Read Only access, Proxim recommends
that you establish a password to prohibit unauthorized access. Depending on
the type of Internet connection you have, others may be able to see your
computers in their Network Neighborhood and have unauthorized access to
your drives.
You may change the access type and establish passwords using the Sym-
phony Maestro Configuration Tool. See the File Sharing discussion in
Chapter 7 for details.
