Figure 21. Dock Server desktop for localuser account.
2. Double click the desktop icon labeled “startdockserver”.
A shell window opens that shows the Dock Server application’s process information
(Figure 22). This information confirms that the application is running.
Important Note: When Dock Server launches, it opens serial ports and network sockets.
At any time, these resources can be owned by only a single process. Thus, before
starting Dock Server be sure that no other process owns the serial ports or the TCP/IP
socket used by Dock Server. For the same reason, do not start more than once instance
of the Dock Server application at any time.
Once Dock Server has started, the 4port USB serial adapter’s LED(s) should be solid
green or flashing green. This LED flashes on / off as data is communicated via the serial
ports.
