Figure 2. Connection and Overall Status Panel

The pull-down menu allows users to select COM ports (RS232 serial port) so that the utility program knows where to connect to WiSER2400 radio unit. The pull- down menu becomes inactive and inaccessible when the connection between the WiSER2400 radio and the utility program is active.

After appropriate COM port is selected from the pull-down menu, click Connect button to have the utility program claim the COM port. If a COM port is successfully claimed by the utility, the Disconnect will be displayed on the button instead of Connect. Click Disconnect button to release the control of the COM port from the utility program.

Note: Other panels in the main window stay inactive unless a COM port is claimed by the utility program.

The status text field displays connection status and the utility command information between WiSER2400 utility program and the radio unit.

Radio Status Panel

The Radio Status Panel has only one mode, STA mode, shown in figure 3.
