Status Bar
The status bar appears at the bottom of the SPPCP screen. It displays information about 
the application’s current status as well as that of the device. 
It shows unit connected, connection type (IP address or comm port), current user 
permission level (for example, administrator), and any error information. If connected via 
Telnet, then the IP address or unit name of the device are displayed, and if connected via 
serial port, the baud rate and port number are displayed. Error information appears for 
5 seconds in the status bar and then is replaced by connection and device information.
