Connecting to Servers

To activate IRIS menus, you must be connected to a server running an IRIS host. You can connect to only one server at a time.

note If you are an IRIS observer, you can connect a host and view menus but cannot change menus that control the radar or network operation.
  1. In the menu bar, select Connect and pull down the list of available servers.

    The list contains the names of the servers that you added in Customizing the Server List.

  2. Select a server from the list.

    The IRIS menu bar title changes, displaying the class of use (either OPERATOR or OBSERVER) and the name of the server node.
