tab’s label describes the physical line. For the tab shown, sim012 is communicating by
freewave on serial port /dev/ttyG0_04.
If sim012 had been communicating by iridium as well as freewave, a second channel tab
would open to show iridium traffic.
A green icon next to a glider indicates it is in communication with the Dock Server. Red
indicates the glider is not in communication with the Dock Server and yellow indicates
no network communication between the Glider Terminal and Dock Server. In addition to
visual glider status cues, Glider Terminal sounds audio alarms when a glider surfaces and
when a glider aborts a mission (refer to section 4.9 for audio alarm details).
