USB
The AirLink device is equipped with a USB port which increases the methods by
which you can send and receive data from a connected computer. The USB port
can be set to work as either a virtual Ethernet port or a virtual serial port, or be
disabled to prevent access by USB. A driver installation is required to use the
USB port in either mode.
By default, the port is set to work as a virtual Ethernet port.
Note: It is recommended that you use a USB 2.0 cable with your AirLink device and
connect directly to your computer for best throughput.
To change the USB port to allow virtual serial port communication in
ACEmanager in the LAN > USB group, choose USB Serial as the USB Device
Mode. To disable the USB port, select Disable from the same menu.

Note: There are USB/net and USB/serial drivers available for Windows XP and Windows 7
32-bit with a separate pair of drivers for Windows 7 64-bit. USB/serial works with Linx
CDC-ACM drivers.
Note: A reboot is required to activate the USB mode change.
