Use the RJE Connection Manager to access information about RJE connections on network computers available to your local computer. You can choose the computers that contain the RJE connections you want to monitor. Your computer list is saved when you exit the program, and the RJE Connection Manager resumes monitoring your chosen computers' RJE connections when you reopen the program. Because the information is continually updated, you can view the computers' current connection attributes, such as the communication status, link service type, and data flow rate.
