Client Explorer

The CP-Link 3 Client Explorer is a tool for monitoring the function of CP-Link 3. Warnings, error messages and status
information of the various CP-Link 3 components are shown in Client Explorer.

The Client Explorer user interface is laid out as follows:

The upper section pictures a tree structure, which on one side shows the currently activated CP-Link 3 Configuration and
on the other contains current status information. In the lower section is a message window in which warnings, error
messages and status information is given in the form of text.

The node text contains the client's name and IP address according to the current configuration.

2. The nodes in the second level correspond to the CP-Link 3 components "Virtual USB", "Virtual Serial Ports“ and
"Virtual Graphics" of the client, where a node is only depicted for those components activated in the configuration. At the
same time the icon of such a node gives information on the current status of the component:
