USING PC CAPTURE SOFTWARE
Locate the 4520BUSPD Wireless Unit. Locate
the T-Port connector on the back of the T-Link2
unit. Connect this T-Port to a 9-pin serial PC
port using the 06-TL02 data communications
cable. Power on the 4520BUSPD and observe
the right LED illuminates and blinks off, then
on very quickly appearing as a flicker. If only
the 4520BUSPD if powered on, no other LEDs
will illuminate. When other T-Links are powered
on, the LED will flash when a wireless signal is
received from a T-Link3 unit. The left LED will
flash very quickly indicating the 4520BUSPD is
receiving a good signal from other T-Links.
Install the PC Capture Software, configure the
software for the PC COM port receiving the data;
use the software ‘Help’ sections as required.
