7.2 FLOWcontrol™ User Interface

In order to start the FLOW

control

™ application, use the Windows Menu

Selections by selecting: Start > Programs > Datacom Systems >
FLOWcontrol_V2

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for FLOW

control

™ consists of multiple

elements which will be described in the sections that follow. These include:

FLOWcontrol™ Main Screen

Communications Console

Filter Management

Product Control Screen

You may need to configure your Filtered Product with an IP address that is
appropriate for your local network before making use of the FLOW

control

software. Details for setting the IP address can be found in the Filtered Product
Hardware USERguide. A connection can also be established using the factory
default (192.168.1.1) IP address.

7.2.1 FLOWcontrol Main Screen

The Main Screen is shown here when FLOW

control

™ is run the first time. From

the Main screen the user is able to connect to a Filtered Product to create a new
Agent, use an existing Agent or modify the properties of an existing Agent. After
subsequent runs of FLOW

control

™, a short delay may be experienced while

FLOW

control

™ loads existing Agent elements. FLOW

control

™ supports off-line

filter management.

The FLOW

control

Main Screen
contains three
elements. The first
is the Pull Down
Menu Bar, the
second is the
Agent List and the
third is the Filter
Management. 

7.2.1.1 Pull Down Menu Bar

The FLOW

control

™ Main Screen Pull Down Menu Bar includes a number of

sections. These include:

File

Tabs

Agent

Help

Utilities

Each of these menu options may also have sub menu items. Each of the pull
down menu options are discussed in later sections.
