Maestro is a three way communication protocol that allows the games to communicate with the sign, the sign to communicate with the progressive controller, and allows the games to communicate with the other games connected to the sign controller. Maestro (the application) requires 20.1 or newer Game Server.
Network
The Sign Controllers using DS will need to have a static IP address of 10.0.8.9 with subnet 255.255.252.0. The controller will ship with the network set to DHCP and it will need to have the IP assigned at setup. Maestro sign controllers can be left DHCP.

Maestro Installation
Although you can log into the controller from your laptop, it works better if you use the Progressive Controller, this way the screen resolution matches.
