Table 112 shows the events that trigger a change the icon’s color.
Color Change
Triggering Event
to Red
For devices that support the Carrier Detect line (i.e., modem and
freewave), a transition from high to low on this line triggers a change
to red. This transition causes Dock Server to send a “glider has
disconnected” network packet to all connected Glider Terminals. In
response, Glider Terminal turns the glider’s icon red.
For devices that do NOT support the Carrier Detect line, a change to
red never occurs. Glider simulators that are directly connected to a
Dock Server serial port (i.e., no modem or freewave is inline – just a
serial cable) do not supply a Carrier Detect signal.
For all devices at the time of this event, Glider Terminal must be
receiving “keep alive” packets on the network connection that
transports a glider’s character output from Dock Server to Glider
Terminal. That is, the Glider Terminal to Dock Server network
connection is up.
to Green
For devices that support the Carrier Detect line (i.e., modem and
freewave), a transition from low to high on this line triggers a change
to green. This transition causes Dock Server to send a “glider has
connected” network packet to all connected Glider Terminals. In
response, Glider Terminal turns the glider’s icon green.
For devices that do NOT support the Carrier Detect line, the icon is
green as long as the Glider Terminal to Dock Server network
connection is up. Glider simulators that are directly connected to a
Dock Server serial port (i.e., no modem or freewave is inline – just a
serial cable) do not supply a Carrier Detect signal. Their icon will
always be green or yellow.
For all devices at the time of this event, Glider Terminal must be
receiving “keep alive” packets on the network connection that
transports a glider’s character output from Dock Server to Glider
Terminal. That is, the Glider Terminal to Dock Server network
