area shows a reference number assigned by the
system, and the name of the 'pool', once
defined;

the 'pool' such as "PC XYZ Direct-Connect",
"Bell 103 Calls (300 baud)", or "0.12 per

devices that have been added to this 'pool'.
A communications pool can contain one 'direct-cable-
connection', or one or more modems or IP
connections. It cannot contain different types of
connections at the same time.
- Devices not in Pool: These are available
modems and direct-cable (or IP) connections
that can be added to a communication pool.
For connections to be available, they must have been
set up under MS Windows, and added through the
communications software. For details, refer to
"Adding a Modem or Direct-Cable-Connection to the
Selection List" (previous/opposite).
Client/Server Systems

through any VEREX Director workstation on the
network. (The list will show modems and cable-
connections from all PCs.)

cable, or IP connection to the current
communications 'pool'. (Select the desired item

'pool'. (Select the desired item under
"Devices in Pool", and then click [Remove].

connection/device from the list of selections.

Selection List" (previous).
