Select GMC/Connect to GMCSite, from the Glmpc Terminal’s menu bar. A dialog
(similar to that shown in Figure 610) will appear. Selecting
Yes
will then attempt to
connect the Glmpc Terminal to the specified Dock Server using the port number.
Figure 610. Connecting to a GMC Site.
Note that the Glmpc Terminal can be connected to any previously added GMCSite
appearing in the GMC Site combobox by performing step 3 above (which will result in
the dialog shown in Figure 610 appearing). If the connection is successful a
confirmation dialog will appear, and the text
Connected to <server> using port <port>
will appear below the displayed map, indicating the selected server and port number.
Also, the Glider combobox will be updated to list all gliders known to the Dock Server. If
the connection is not successful, a warning dialog will appear. The dialog in Figure 610
simply warns that connecting to the new GMC site will reset the list of gliders shown in
the Glider combobox to those known by the newly connected Dock Server. Also, any
monitoring of glider positions will be terminated until a new glider is selected (see
section 6.8 on
Interacting with a Glider
).
The Glmpc Terminal can only be connected to one Dock Server at a time, so
connecting to Dock Server
B
while still connected to Dock Server
A
will simply drop the
connection to Dock Server
A
.
Finally, any previously added GMC site can be removed by selecting the site in the
GMC Site combobox, and selecting GMC/Delete GMCSite from the Glmpc Terminal’s
menu bar.
