Pop-Up Menu - When the User right-clicks on a line in the log window, the pop-up menu opens.
In this menu there two options:
" Reset: When this option is selected, the program searches the database for the selected
MAC. When the client is found, the program adds the client’s MAC to the ARP table, and
then sends a reset command to the client. Note that by performing the remote reset this way,

have administrator privileges, or else an error message appears.
" View Client: This option is the same as double-clicking on a line. When selected, the Clients
