a green background and the corresponding checkbox is selected by default.

on a channel row.
When the color palette opens, press the required color to select it.

The server channel selection menu closes and the Port windows open along the top of
the Desktop screen - one for each port selected, see the section
Port Window Layout on
page 198.
Note: You must enter a Port Owner ID before taking control of server
playout channels.
