You can change the picture used for your station definition by selecting the
“Change…” text underneath the picture. The menu that pops-up also gives you
the ability to restore the picture to its default for the station type. If a camera is

Press the “Connect” button to connect to X-Link. When connected, you are able
to see current data values, historical data, and the setup in the unit.
Press the “Work Offline” button if you want to make changes to the setup stored
locally for the station, without connecting to X-Link. When you later connect to
X-Link, LinkComm will notice the setup in the unit is different than the one
stored locally, and will ask you which one to use (LinkComm first asks if you want
to retrieve the setup from X-Link. If you answer “No”, LinkComm then asks you if
you want to send the local setup to X-Link).

connection types. However, some features, such as upgrading the firmware, are

feature to reduce data costs (e.g., for cellular connections that cost money).
“Get recent data on connect”, when checked, will cause LinkComm to download
the last week of data for display in a graph on the dashboard tab, every time you
