Viewport screen set to default size and position.

NOTE: The 2 Series processor has no associated suffix; rather, the operating system
version will be preceded by the model name of the control system.
Use the Diagnostics menu to get information about the control system and network
devices, and to determine whether communication exists between the control system
and the PC.
Establish Communications (Find Rack)
The Establish Communications command verifies that communication exists
between the control system and the PC, and synchronizes the baud rates when they
differ.
With an RS-232 connection, Viewport checks baud rates, beginning with the baud
rate specified for the PC (in Setup | Communication Settings). If the control system
cannot be detected at that baud rate, Viewport jumps to 115200 and cycles back to
300 until the control system is detected. When the control system is found it is set to
the same baud rate as the PC.
With a TCP/IP connection, the Communication dialog box will display the IP
address and port number of the control system.
If the control system cannot be located, an error message will be displayed.
