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.
