The main program window contains:

 

1.The toolbar with the buttons to perform quick actions, add, edit or remove machine descriptions and also to select the mode, the machine should work in.

 

The toolbar contains the following buttons:

 

1.Add - allows you to add a new machine to the list. Once the button is pressed, first you are prompted to enter the machine name, then the window for changing the default machine settings is opened. If you press "OK" in that window, the machine descriptions will be added to the list. Otherwise, the operation will be cancelled;
2.Remove - allows you to remove a machine description from the list. After you remove a description, no operations will be possible for the machine. To do the removing, select the necessary machine from the list and press the "Remove" button;
3.Setup - allows you to change the configuration of a previously added machine. To perform this action, you should select the necessary machine and press the button. A dialog window will appear where you can edit the needed parameters. After you press the "OK" button, the changes you have made will be saved.
4.Receive - allows you to receive a file from a machine in the manual mode. In this mode, the name of the file to be saved is asked and after it is specified, the program switches to the mode for receiving files.
5.Transmit - allows you to send a file from the computer to the machine in the manual mode. In this mode the name of the file to be sent is asked, and after it is specified, the program switches to the mode for sending files.
6.Server - switches the program to the server mode for the selected machine. In this mode, files are sent and received automatically without any activity from the user. For the program to work correctly in this mode, you should correctly configure the parameters related to the server mode.
