General Options

Database Location

Computer Hard Drive: Enter the path to the Remote Link database location on the computer or

network hard drive. If you would like to store your Remote Link database in a different location than

the default folder, type the location in the Database Location field. You may also browse for the folder

where you would like to place your Remote Link database by clicking on the button just to the right of

the Database Location field with three small dots.

The database may also be stored on a remote network server. This option allows more than three

Remote Link computers to perform extensive database operations at the same time. Refer to the Link

Server Installation Sheet (LT-0837).

Network Server: To use Remote Link with Link Server, enter the network server IP address and port

number to the Remote Link database location. The default port number is 12005. Check with your Link

Server administrator for the correct IP address and port number and enter the information using the

following format:

server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:ppppp

x = IP Address

p = Port Number

Note: Standard Remote Link operation supports database access for up to three computers as

long as only one computer at a time performs extensive database access operations such as

uploading or downloading information from a panel. If more computers or more extensive

simultaneous database access is required, it is recommended the Link Server software be

installed on a network server.

Database Relocation: To manually move your Remote Link database, use Windows Explorer and copy

the complete database folder (usually "C:\Link\Db") and paste to the desired location. Go to the

Database Location field and either type the new location of the database into the field or click the

browse button to locate where you have relocated the database.

If you change the location listed in the Database Location field without first moving the database

manually, Remote Link displays a message asking, "Do you wish to create a new database?" If you click

on OK, Remote Link creates a new database at the location that you just assigned and ignores the

previous database. This means that Remote Link does not have access to any previous account

information and configurations settings from the previously existing Remote Access database.

Note: If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, only users with administrative privileges in

Windows can relocate the database. If a user without administrative privileges attempts to

move the database, Remote Link does not save the attempted relocation.

If Remote Link does not start up correctly, one cause could be an invalid database location. Use the

command line option "/dblocation" to set the path to the database. Go to Start > Run and type c:\Link

\Link.exe /dblocation LOCATION.
