click [Remove].
To delete an item from the list of
available choices, select the item
under "Devices not in Pool", and click

Deleting a "Communication Pool"
Before deleting a 'pool', check to ensure it is
not presently being used by a panel
communications session:
Select Communications from the MyTools
bar, or
click [Communications] in the 'tree',
and select Pending/Online. Now, for each
active communications session (selected at
the bottom of the screen), click the panel group
near the centre of your screen, and view the
'Comms Pool' and 'Results' information on the
right.
Note: Do not delete a 'pool' that is found to be in use.
For more information on communications sessions,
refer to "Panel Communications and Updates".
-------------------------
To proceed, select Communications Pool
from the MyTools bar, or
click
[Communications] in the 'tree', and select
Communication Pool. Select the desired
'pool' at the bottom of the window. Then, right-
click the screen and select Delete. When
asked to confirm, select Yes.
After deleting a communications pool, check to ensure
that your panel groups have the desired communication
pool assigned. For details, refer to "Panel Groups and
Connection Settings".
- Pool (bottom of form): This is where you select
a communications 'pool' to view or edit. This
area shows a reference number assigned by the
system, and the name of the 'pool', once
defined;
- Pool Name: This is a suitable description for
the 'pool' such as "PC XYZ Direct-Connect",
"Bell 103 Calls (300 baud)", or "0.12 per
minute to Asia".
- Devices in Pool: The communications
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
: Connections can be set up
through any Guardall Director workstation on the
network. (The list will show modems and cable-
connections from all PCs.)
