Status Bar Area

The PASSPORT status bar provides information about the host connection status, the LU state, menu commands, macros, standard toggle keys, and cursor position. The PASSPORT status bar will display different information depending upon whether the session is a display or printer session. The status bar can be made visible or invisible by using the View>Status Bar menu command.

Display Session Status Bar

When you pause the pointer over a PASSPORT menu command, a brief description of the function of that command appears on the left side of the status bar. Also, this area displays information about the status of the connection to a host address. For instance, if Hot Back Up is enabled, the status bar will display the status of each connection as the back up connections are attempted. 

For PASSPORT PC TO HOST:

On the right side of the status bar are five small boxes that provide information about the following items:

For PASSPORT WEB TO HOST:

The left most pane is used to display status information. Only macro information is displayed. The Caps Lock, Num Lock, SSL, cursor position and LU name information are not displayed on the status bar.

SSL Security Indicator

When SSL security is enabled, a small yellow security lock symbol appears on the PASSPORT status bar. If you double click on this symbol, PASSPORT displays the certificate information of the server you are currently connected to.  The SSL indicator is only applicable for PASSPORT PC TO HOST.
