2.1 USB installation for the S-Link
The S-Link has a USB type B port. When it is connected to a PC it emulates a standard serial port. It
has a simple interface so that it is easy to design software for. The S-Link can function using only the
USB port power.
2.2 Free Software Upgrade
Keep up to date with the latest version of S-Link software, including new features and options. As new
and improved versions of the device's firmware are created, it is in your best interest to update your S-
Link. The latest device firmware can be downloaded from the Gentec-EO website.
The update must be done using the USB port. An update through the Ethernet port will cause the S-
Link to be unusable and will need to be reprogrammed by the manufacturer.
