If LinkWare cannot connect to the tester or reports errors during data transfer,

information.

Using the Import Wizard

When you import records, the LinkWare Import Wizard can automatically

build or add to a database structure and place the records at the correct levels

based on characters in the cable IDs. For example, if your cable IDs contain

characters that represent patch panels, telecommunications rooms, and floors

the Wizard can add these icons to the database structure; then place the

records at the correct levels in the structure.

To use the Import Wizard

1 If you are importing records from a tester, connect the tester to the PC.

2 Open a new or existing LinkWare database.

3 Click the Import button; then select Import Wizard.

4 Click Next. Follow the instructions in the next two dialog boxes to select a

source for the records. Click Next after you have made your selection in

each box.
