60 Allegro DOS Owner’s Manual
F6 - Lynx
To communicate with Lynx, the Allegro needs to be in the Lynx
communication mode. When Lynx mode is on, the word Lynx is
displayed at the top of the FileScout menu along with the active port
as shown below:
FileScout v1.0 Lynx – COM1
When the Allegro is in Lynx mode, it checks at regular intervals to
see if it is linked to a computer. When it detects a connection, the
Allegro is treated as a remote computer by the desktop computer.
To turn Lynx mode on or off, Press F6 and make a selection.
❖ Note: Auto Suspend does not work while you are connected to Lynx on
your desktop PC. See System Setup Program, Power Management Screen,
Auto Suspend later in this chapter of the manual for details.
Communicating with Other Desktop PC Programs
Some programs have integrated PC communication modules you
will use instead of Lynx. DataLink and LandMark PC are two
examples.
The FileScout Transfer screen has three functions that you may use
with these programs:
F3: Command
F4: Receive
F5: Send
Refer to the User’s Manual for the program you are using for
information on how to proceed.
