You can run Queue Monitor from any computer connected to the rendering network. Once started, you can connect to any available network Manager. You can launch as many Queue Monitors as you want from anywhere on your network and connect to a Manager machine. All except the first Queue Monitor connecting to the Manager appear in "read only" mode. If there is already a Queue Monitor connected to the Manager, subsequent connections alert you that you are in read-only mode, and "Read Only" appears in the title bar. In read-only mode, you can view network render activity, but cannot change anything in the queue unless you obtain queue control on page 6526. To view all current jobs in the rendering queue, you first connect to the Manager that all of the servers are "talking to." To do this, you can either connect automatically to the Manager by searching with a subnet mask, or connect to a specific Manager by supplying the IP address or machine name of the machine where you started the Manager.

The Connect To Manager dialog appears. 2 After you connect to a Manager once, the dialog remembers the Manager information and you can just click OK to connect to the same Manager. If this is the first time you're connecting, or you're connecting to a different Manager, and you're using Automatic Search, just click OK. If you're not using Automatic Search, you need to specify the Manager to connect to. In the text field, enter the name or IP address of a network Manager. This is the same information you specified in the Server General Properties dialog on page 6520. 3 Click OK. Queue Monitor | 6523
