Introduction
Serial Link is an integral component of the decoder software. Although it is a separate application, it is on-
ly useful when used in conjunction with the WAVECOM decoder software. Serial Link can send all data
from text modes of eight decoder cards to eight different COM ports. Each COM port can be configured.
Getting Started
The Serial Link can be started directly from the decoder using the View/WAVECOM Serial Link menu
item.
If you plan to connect to a card installed in a PC, which is different from the one on which Serial Link is in-
stalled; Server Control or the WAVECOM decoder software must be running on that PC.
Select a COM port for each WAVECOM decoder card.
Configure each COM port using the corresponding Configure button.
Select the computer on your network that contains the WAVECOM decoder cards.
To connect to a card on your network using Serial Link, click Connection... The device screen appears
and you may select This Computer or Remote Computer entering also the remote computer name.
Connect each card to the selected port using the Connect button. The selection will now appear in the Se-
rial Link main screen.
All settings are automatically saved. Serial Link will automatically use these settings the next time it is
started.
