Chapter 2. Using Access Connections

This chapter shows you how to use the features of Access Connections.

Viewing connection status

With the Connection Status window, client users can see their network connections
at every link. Furthermore, client users can offer reliable status information to
administrators remotely, so the administrators can diagnose and correct problems.
One window offers you and users accessible, essential information about
connections--and helps them get and stay connected.
