The table displays the following information for each Hardened Serial Server:

Server Name—the name reported by the Hardened Serial Server.

Connection—the IP address of the Hardened Serial Server.

Port 1, Port 2, Port 3, and Port 4.

-Communications protocol assigned to the serial port (TCP, UDP, or Paired mode).

-Whether the port initiates connections (Client mode) or accepts connections (Server mode).

-TCP port number or UDP port number.

-The virtual COM port assignment on the local PC (if assigned).

-Whether the Hardened Serial Server's serial port is being used by anyone on the network. The status of whether the Hardened Serial Server in use is updated periodically.

When a Hardened Serial Server's IP address is configured for a network that is not within the local network's range, the Hardened Serial Server's information is displayed in a different color (yellow).

4.1.3 Configuration Pane

The configuration pane is essentially a Web browser.
