Included in the LYNX shipping package is a CD with the IMS Terminal software. This is a programming/
communications interface created by IMS to simplify the use of the LYNX. There is a 32 bit version for
Windows 9x/NT4/2000 located on the CD. The IMS Terminal is also necessary to upgrade the software in
your LYNX Control Module. These updates will be posted to the IMS website at http://www.imshome.com/
as they are made available.
To install the IMS Terminal to your hard drive, insert the CD into your CD-ROM Drive. The CD should
autostart to the IMS Main Index Page. If the CD does not autostart, click “Start > Run” and type
“x:\IMS.exe” in the “Open” box and then click OK. NOTE: “x” is your CD ROM drive letter.
