FLINK.EXE Command Line Options
The FLINK.EXE command (the FastLink II DOS User Interface) offers several command line options that let
you:
Connect and disconnect without running the full-screen interface.
Run the Comm Port Test option without running the full-screen interface.
Specify monochrome rather than color operation, to improve the appearance of the full-screen
interface on certain gray-scale displays.
Connecting from the DOS Command Line
To connect without running the full-screen interface, just specify the name of the connection right on the
command line:
FLINK connectionname

For example, if you’ve created a connection called BRANCHOFFICE, you can connect to it by typing:
FLINK BRANCHOFFICE

Once the connection is established, information such as connection speed, data handling options, server name,
and the like will be displayed on screen.
Disconnecting from the Command Line
To disconnect without running the full-screen interface use the
/D
switch:
FLINK /D
