Once communication is established, the drives, folders, and files located
on the Allegro are shown on the Lynx remote screen on the desktop
computer. On the Allegro FileScout status line, the word “Connected”
blinks every second to indicate that a connection is made with the
computer. Refer to the information about Lynx later in this section for
details.

Note: If you have been running Windows CE and using ActiveSync to
transfer files, sometime during this process a screen may appear telling you to
disconnect the COM port. To proceed with the Lynx connection, answer Yes
(OK) to this notification.
