- If you are new to LAN-LINK, don't be scared off by the size of
- the program and the manual. LAN-LINK is built in a top down
- structured manner. You can go into it as deep as you need. Begin
- by using the QUICK MENU which gives you the most commonly used
- features in one menu. Then, as you become familiar with LAN-LINK,
- start to explore the other menus.
-
- Before you operate for the first time, bring up LAN-LINK and use
- the options in the Parameter Menu to configure LAN-LINK to your
- station and way of operating. AS A MINIMUM, CHANGE THE
- CALLSIGNS. Read Section 18 of the documentation to see what the
- customization is capable of. Update/Save the configuration file
- when finished.
-
- LAN-LINK uses HARDWARE Handshaking between the PC and the TNC,
- you must have the cable wired correctly. A cable with three
- signal wires will not work correctly. If you insist on using a 3
- wire cable, you must set the DCD Flag (in the Parameter Menu) to
- OFF.

- Update Notes
-
- If you are UPDATING from an earlier than 1.56 version of LAN-LINK
- or any PK232COM, the Configuration files are not compatible to
- that needed for 1.58. You must use the Configuration file(s)
- supplied on this disk.
-
- If you are updating from 1.56 or 1.57, there are no additions to
- the LAN-LINK.SYS files so you can use your existing one, if you
- note the following changes. However, just to be on the safe
- side, use the new SYS files, unless you are confident that you
- can make these changes.
-
- a. The position of the Incoming Window color has been changed.
- Bring up the Parameter Menu and change it. It has been moved
- to where the LogPage window colour was. Its original position
- is now a spare.
-
- b. The log files have been changed to dBASE 3 format.
-
- c. The capture-to-disk file name in the SYS file is ignored. Do
- not delete it.
-
- d. The number of default users has been inserted where the
- Incoming Window color used to be.
-
- Bringing up 1.58 for 1.56 Users
-
- Basically you have to change the Inwindow color and the names of
- the log files, the numebr of default users (perhaps), import your
- logfiles and delete the old logs.
-
- 1. Copy the two DBF files into your LAN-LINK directory.
- 2. Copy LAN-LINK.EXE into your LAN-LINK directory.
- 3 If you want to use the new SYS file(s) copy the one(s) you
- will need into your LAN-LINK directory.
- 4. Load the new version of LAN-LINK.
- 5. If you are using the 1.56 SYS file, do steps 6 through 9,
- else skip to step 8.
- 6. Edit the SYS file to change the HF and VHF log names to
- HF.DBF and VHF.DBF respectively BEFORE you connect to
- someone.
- 7. In the Parameters Menu, bring up the LAN-LINK Parameters and
- change the default users to 1. Then set the Incoming Window
- color.
- 8. Update the SYS file.
- 9. Select the VHF packet communications mode.
- 10. Bring up the Log Window (Esc L). As the logbook file is empty
- LAN-LINK comes up in the Append mode and will ask you to
- enter something.
- 11. Push the "Esc" key to return to the log display.
- 12. Push the "Alt-U" function key to mark the entry for deletion.
- 13. Push the "Esc" key to bring up the menu again.
- 14. Select the "Import" option and import your VHF log.
- 15. Push the "Home" key to goto the first entry.
- 16. Push the "Alt-Z" key to pack the log and delete the first
- entry.
- 17. If you are using a TNC which has HF capability (KAM, PK-232
- or MFJ1278), select any HF Communications mode.
- 18. Repeat steps 10 through 16, importing your HF log.
- 19. At your leisure, delete the old log (*.LOG) files.
-
- If you push any unused function key, you will get a function key
- log menu.
