Port Status:
Local - Port is Free and ready to connect locally
Modem - Port is Free and ready to connect Remotely
Already Used - Port is currently being used

Whenever the current selected entry is using a COM Port, the little Microtel symbol
in the center of the form will spin.
When the Disconnect button is clicked, MicroWIN 2000 will disconnect from the dialer currently
connected to. Since data is constantly being sent across while the dialer is connected, it may take
a few seconds before this disconnect is completed.
COM Port Tabs
In the upper-right side of the runtime forms, there are 4 tabs. Each of these tabs represents a COM
Port. They show the current state of the COM Port. If one of the tabs is currently selected, then the
entry that is currently being viewed is using this COM Port (See Figure 1). If all the tabs are
unselected (See Figure 2), then the current entry isn’t currently connected to a COM Port.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Moving the mouse over the top of the tabs will display a verbal tool-tip about what the picture is
indicating.
An easy way to change to an Entry that is currently connected is to click on the tab of a used
COM Port. A used tab will have the picture of a small S1000 connected to a computer as in
COM 1 in the above figures.(Also, see Figure 3)
