connection is successful a confirmation dialog will appear, and the text
Connected to
<server> using port <port>
will appear below the display area, indicating the selected
server and port number. Also, the Glider combobox will be updated to list all gliders
known to the Data Server. If the connection is not successful, a warning dialog will
appear. The dialog in Figure 83 simply warns that connecting to the new Data Server
will reset the list of gliders shown in the Glider combobox to those known by the newly

Any previously added Data Server can be removed by selecting the site in the Data
