IPX Connections Polling
When you enter the IPX Connections dialog, you have the option of polling for
any Proxy hosts which may be available.
You can set this polling behavior by setting “Poll local network after opening
Connect dialog” in the IPX Connections box. When this checkbox is selected, the
network will be polled for all Proxy hosts according to the settings in the
Connect dialog. If you do not select this checkbox, then you will need to poll
manually by clicking
Poll in the Connections dialog.

any Proxy hosts which may be available.
You can set this polling behavior by setting “Poll local network after opening

local network will be polled for all Proxy hosts. If you do not select this
checkbox, then you will need to poll manually by clicking

Shortcuts Group Name
When you create a Shortcut for a connection, Proxy will create an entry in a
particular program manager group, usually the same one into which you installed
Proxy.
You can change the name of this group by setting “Group name” in the Program
Manager Group for Shortcuts box. To change the name, click on the pull-down
menu and a list of all available program manager groups will be displayed; you
can click on the one you want to use.
Connection Identification for Host
When the Proxy Master connects to a Proxy Host, the Proxy Master displays its
name on the Proxy Host’s control panel. The System and Custom radio buttons
let you determine the displayed name, as follows:
System
— Proxy attempts to get and display the name of the Proxy Master
workstation and show it in this field. This name will appear on any Proxy Host’s
Control Panel to which this master is connected.
Custom
— This button and text box let you override the name in the System
field with any name you choose.
