Network Setup:
Altronix Dashboard USB Connection:
The USB connection on the LINQ2 is used for Network. When connected to a PC via the USB cable the LINQ2 will receive power from the USB port allowing programming of the LINQ2 prior to
being connected to the power supply.
1. Install the software supplied with the LINQ2 on the PC being used for programming. This software should be installed on all computers that will have access to the LINQ2.
2. Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB port on the LINQ2 and the computer.
3. Double click on the
Dashboard icon on the desktop of the computer and open the Dashboard.
