2 DEVICE CONNECTION
iLink uses the settings in the currently loaded profile when a connection is attempted to an external
device.
2.1 Getting Connected
[File] [Connect to Device]
Having loaded and/or set up the correct profile you can now connect to the device using the toolbar
[Connect] icon or menu option.
While connection is taking place, you will see the TX and Rx status indicators
flashing green on the Toolbar to indicate that communication is taking place
between the PC and the device. The 1/3 in the screen shot here indicates that
iLink is currently on attempt number 1 out of a maximum of 3 retries.
Once the connection has been established, you will see a graphic (if available) for the connected device,
together with the device information. This window is always displayed whilst iLink is connected to the
device, although at times it may be hidden by other configuration dialogs.
A comment field is provided for the device and this can be edited here if desired. The comment field is
saved with the profile.
