Stations List View – Getting Connected
LinkComm requires you create a station definition before you can connect to it
or work on its setup. You’ll normally create an entry in the Stations list for every
station you manage on an on-going basis. It’s easy to add and delete station
entries, so you’ll also often create a temporary station entry for ad-hoc
connections.
