Monitoring and Testing
the Link
The Winlink 1000 Manager software enables you to monitor the link, as
well as perform Loopback tests. It also provides a handy Link
calculator utility for calculating the expected performance of the
wireless link and the possible RF and antenna configurations for a
specific link range.
Retrieving Link Information (Get Link Information)
The Get Link Information feature collects and writes all link and
Manager information (from both sides) into a comprehensive file.
The
file can be used for diagnostics and should be sent to technical support
to speed up assistance.
