ProLink
ProLink monitors Profile Protocol calls over RS-422 communication lines,
allowing you to use a device such as the PRC100 Control Panel or other third-
party device to communicate with a Profile system. The PRC100 is a discrete
control panel that provides conventional VTR-type control of Profile systems.
Simply double-click the ProLink shortcut icon on the desktop to start it (or

PortServer

communications. For example, you can run PortServer on a remote Profile
system so that you can access it from a local Profile using your LAN. Simply
