<h2>Remote Connections view</h2>
<p>Use the <strong>Remote Connections</strong> view to monitor, create, edit, or remove common connection settings for remote agents. Remote agents provide support for debugging, profiling, trace, and more. The connection types currently supported include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Serial — mainly for boards with a serial interface</li>
<li>Bluetooth — available for debug support </li>
<li>USB — available for both debug and trace support </li>
</ul>
<p>The columns in the <strong>Remote Connections</strong> view include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Connection/Services - connection name defined by you and remote agent type</li>
<li>Type - connection type, i.e. Bluetooth, USB, TCP/IP, etc.</li>
<li>Status - current connection status, i.e. Available, Not Accessible, Ready, etc.</li>
<li>Description - provides information on the current connection test status.</li>
</ul>
