Note: The Comtech EF Data XSAT CPXLINK software is compatible with most of the Palm OS handheld
devices. Instructions are included for use with the Palm model m100. Most any other Palm device
may be substituted as required. This document will show a Palm V for reference only.
Chapter 1. Installing the CPXLINK Program
Install the Hot Sync Software included with the Palm m100 package.
Using Windows Explorer, locate the CPXLINK.prc file either on the floppy disk or the local
computer hard drive. Double click on this file.
This double clicking will activate the hot sync software. Follow the on screen instructions to
prepare the file for loading into the Palm device on the next “hot sync”.
Connect the Palm handheld device to the RS-232 serial port of the local computer that the “hot
sync” software was installed on using the supplied cable.
At this point you are ready to load the CPXLINK software.
Push the “hot sync” button on the cable that connects the Palm device or select the “hot sync” icon
on the handheld device. This action should initiate the uploading of the CPXLINK file to the
Palm. When this is done, the Palm is ready to connect to the Redundant Controller Box or the
individual XSAT.
Chapter 2. Connecting the Palm Handheld
Using the Comtech EF Data modified cable included, connect the Palm handheld device to the 19
pin M&C connector on the Redundant Controller Box.
Turn power on the Palm m100 and press the CPXLINK icon to start the CPXLINK program.
