Startup Method
This utility is supplied on drive (C:). Usually this utility is made available after it is called from the
system menu as a child process. However, it can be used either as a single command or as a child
process to be called from another application.
Operation Method
With this utility operation priority is placed on only one side and the other side must remain in the
command reception wait sate. This is true for both HT-to-HT communication and HT-to-PC
communication. Hereinafter the operation side is referred to as the terminal, and the command
reception wait side is referred to as the host.
To establish HT-to-HT communication, idle-start (host-start) FLINK on one side and specify the
transmission or reception command to execute (terminal-start) FLINK.
To establish HT-to-PC communication, execute the communication host utility called "LMDOS" or
"LMWIN" on the PC. For information about this communication host utility refer to the IT-2000
Upload/Download Utility Manual.
In the following pages the method used to specify the start options and information about each
