Choosing the Host through the Composer

Select Start/Programs/Elmo/Composer to start Elmo's Composer and check the setup.

1. In the Welcome menu select the Open Communication Directly option.

2. In the Application Name and Communication Type dialog box check the TCP/IP

Gateway option and click the Properties button.

3. In the Select Drive dialog you should see at least one Maestro in the Gateway list.

Select it.

4. Go to the drive window, select one of the drives and click OK to open

communications with the selected drive.

5. If the Composer has no information about the device that was selected, it will

upload the device info. That could take a minute or two.

6. If all is connected properly, the Smart Terminal window in the Composer will

open.
