There is a set of buttons on the upper right hand side that are used to connect/disconnect an entry
with its dialer.

Click on the button labeled Local. This will bring up a dialog box that will ask for which COM
Port to use. This dialog box shows what COM Ports are currently setup and which are in use.
Choose the COM Port that was previously setup to use by clicking on the small box to the right of
the desired COM Port with the Port Status of Local.

Once a COM Port is selected, communications will commence. If all has been properly setup, the
picture in the upper right hand corner will read CONNECTED and after a little handshaking, the
dialer’s realtime status information will start being displayed and will update every 1 to 2 seconds. See
Appendix E: Dialer Channel Information, Page 95 for more information about the Realtime Data.
