5.3.1 Dock Server Popup Menu
Hovering over a Dock Server node in the serial port tree and rightclicking the mouse
activates the Dock Server popup menu. Items selected from this menu only apply to the
Dock Server under the mouse pointer at the time the menu is activated.
Synchronize
Forces Glider Terminal to synchronize its displayed serial ports with
those managed by the Dock Server under the mouse pointer. Thus,
serial ports no longer managed by this Dock Server are removed from
the user interface and newly managed serial ports appear in the serial
port tree.
Note that Dock Server does notify all Glider Terminal clients when its
managed serial port list changes. Thus, a Dock Server’s managed
serial ports and those displayed in Glider Terminal should always be
synchronized without using this menu item.
Remove
Terminates all network connections to the Dock Server under the
mouse pointer, closes all glider and tags and serial port tabs associated
with this Dock Server, and removes the Dock Server’s node from the
glider tree and serial port tree. Upon subsequent startups, Glider
Terminal will not automatically reconnect to this Dock Server.
5.3.2 Serial Port Popup Menu
Hovering over a serial port node in the serial port tree and rightclicking the mouse
activates the serial port popup menu. Items selected from this menu only apply to the
serial port under the mouse pointer at the time the menu is activated.
Open
Opens the serial port tab associated with the serial port under the mouse
pointer. This action shows subsequent serial port data in a serial port tab and
allows the user to view received serial data and to send entered characters to
the serial port.
Once the tab is open, it corresponding receiving data indicator in the serial port
tree (see Figure 52) will turn green when data is actively received from the
serial port.
Note that this indicator functions only when its corresponding serial
port tab is open
.
