Connection structure
In this menu you can create groups and subgroups (nested groups) and, subsequently,
add PBXs to them. You can create PBXs without groups too, but this might be
confusing if you use a higher number of PBXs. Then you can create connections for
particular PBXs using the TCP/IP and modem protocols. The records are arranged
alphabetically.
For easier administration of existing records, a record moving option using the mouse
has been implemented on this screen, also designated as drag & drop.
