, , : When the Allegro is communicating with Lynx on
the desktop computer, the FileScout Transfer functions F3, F4, and F5
are not used.

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 and make a selection.

Note: To use Auto Suspend, you must turn Lynx mode off. See System Setup
Program, Power Management Screen, and Auto Suspend later in this section 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: Command, Receive, and Send. Refer to
the User's Manual for the program you are using for information on
how to proceed.
