Auto Search Button

: The Auto Search Button will search for Zlinx devices connected to a 

COM port and connect. This is useful if you do not know the radio modem configuration. 

 

Figure 5-21  Auto Search Button 

 

Your PC will attempt to connect to any radio modem connected. The radio modem search 
screen will be displayed (figure 5-

18). Click the “OK” button and the manager software will 

display the Radio Modem Settings Screen (figure 5-19). If a modem is not attached, the 
Radio Modem Not Found screen will be displayed (figure 5-20).  

 

Advanced Command Button

: The Advanced Command Button is used to select the 

character sequence to enter command mode as well as required “quite times” before and 
after the command sequence. It is recommended that you do not change these values.
