Configure Internal TCP/IP Settings:
The Conductor uses a second IP address (which is different from the IP
address obtained from the ISP) to communicate with the wireless network. By
default, the Symphony Conductor is assigned an internal IP address of 10.0.0.1
and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Also, the Conductor acts as a DHCP server to
automatically assign IP address within the 10.0.0.0 IP network to the wireless
computers (which are configured to accept a dynamic address by default).

If the Conductor’s ISP TCP/IP Settings use the 10.0.0.0 IP network, then the
Symphony Conductor’s two IP addresses will conflict. In this case, click
<Configure> under the Symphony Conductor Status heading to change the
Conductor’s Internal IP Settings. The range of IP addresses dynamically
assigned by the Conductor will also changed based on the new IP address and
subnet mask.

Note:
Proxim recommends that only advanced users who are familiar
with TCP/IP change the Conductor’s Internal TCP/IP Settings.
If you change these settings, you must use a subnet mask that is
valid for the class of IP address you entered and provides at
least 4 bits of addressing space for the local network.

Maestro reports the Symphony Conductor Status, which includes an icon of a
desktop computer that changes color to reflect different states of connectivity,
just like the Symphony Conductor icon in the Windows System Tray. In
addition, Maestro reports when the modem is idle, dialing, connected to the
Internet, or operating in Single User Mode. This feature is available on all
wireless computers.
