The Connection Status field displays the communication connection status between host computer and

• Pane 1 (at the top) displays event collection status when event collection is underway – the number
of events collected from each controller and the number of events processed by a monitor window.
• Pane 2 (second from the top) displays the type of connection between host computer and access
control network – direct using a cable between master controller and host computer or remote using
modems between master controller and host computer.
• Pane 3 (third from the top) displays the COM port used for communication.
• Pane 4 (at the bottom) displays if the network is ONLINE (actively connected and communicating
with the host computer) or OFFLINE (disconnected from the host computer).
