This dialog lists each site contained in the currently loaded site-list and allows
you to select the site to which a connection is desired. Clicking the Connect
button will initiate a connection attempt. In addition, double-clicking on the site
name will initiate a connection attempt.
In addition, sites can be added to or removed from the site-list or simply have
their properties modified. A button labeled Connect Using is provided to jump to
the host connection settings (see Host Connection ).
4.2.2. Disconnecting A Site
Selecting the Disconnect command from the Site menu, the toolbar button or the
F10 key will disconnect the currently connected site. This includes hanging up
the phone line for a modem connection.
4.3. Viewing And Commanding Controllers
The main function of the Communication Interface Module (CIM) is to facilitate
communication to the controllers present on the site. The controllers currently
supported by the CIM are the MEC 20 Microprocessor Engine Controller and the
TSC 800 Transfer Switch Controller. The main view of the THS 2000 provides a
simulated front-panel of a single controller.
Controllers can be added, removed and examined from menu commands.
4.3.1. Controller Views
The bulk of the THS 2000 window is the view area. This area can be a simple list
of the controllers or a more detailed representation of a single controller. The
controller bar buttons are used to select the desired controller or the controller-list
(see also The Interface ).
The controller bar contains a button called List and a button for each controller on
the site. The controller buttons are labeled using the controller’s identification
number (id). Pressing a button on the controller bar will change the view to
display the selected controller or the controller-list view.
When the selected site is connected, the dot in the middle of the controller bar
button will indicate the status of the controller (green, yellow, red or black).
The next figure shows the view of a MEC 20 connected to a remote CIM. The
MEC 20 indicates that it is currently in shutdown mode. The black part of the
view is generally the same as the front panel of the actual MEC 20 device. The
