'pool' at the bottom of the window. Then, right-

Screen Reference
- Pool (bottom of form): This is where you select
a communications 'pool' to view or edit. This
area shows a reference number assigned by the
system, and the name of the 'pool', once
defined;
- Pool Name: This is a suitable description for
the 'pool' such as "PC XYZ Direct-Connect",
"Bell 103 Calls (300 baud)", or "0.12 per
minute to Asia".
- Devices in Pool: The communications
devices that have been added to this 'pool'.
A communications pool can contain one 'direct-cable-
connection', or one or more modems or IP
connections. It cannot contain different types of
connections at the same time.
- Devices not in Pool: These are available
modems and direct-cable (or IP) connections
that can be added to a communication pool.
For connections to be available, they must have been
set up under MS Windows, and added through the
communications software. For details, refer to
"Adding a Modem or Direct-Cable-Connection to the
Selection List" (previous/opposite).
Client/Server Systems: Connections can be set up
through any VEREX Director workstation on the
network. (The list will show modems and cable-
connections from all PCs.)
(Buttons)
- [Add]: This allows adding a modem, direct-
cable, or IP connection to the current
communications 'pool'. (Select the desired item
under "Devices not in Pool", and then click
[Add] .)
- [Remove]: This allows removing a
communications device from the current
'pool'. (Select the desired item under
"Devices in Pool", and then click
[Remove] .
- [Delete Device]: This allows deleting a
connection/device from the list of selections.
Note: Deleting an item here is similar to deleting it
through the communications software. To add a
replacement connection to the list of choices, refer to
"Adding a Modem or Direct-Cable-Connection to the
Selection List" (previous).
