The Communications Link Setup is used to determine how the communications link program behaves. The Communications Link Setup builds an INI file that can be distributed to remote sites to control the Communications Link program. If no INI file name is specified the default INI file name is “commlink.ini”. The file is written to the path were the executable is running from.

You can edit any INI file you wish. Just open the INI file using the file menu. Then make the appropriate changes and save the changed file.

The INI file can be specified using the –I. parameter on the command line when starting the Communications Link program. The format is –I “INIfile name”. Example:

The communications link program can be run with no INI file. If no INI file is specified CommLink uses the default values

Default values:

1. “Attempt Connection at startup”
2. Startup Message = “Attempting Connection with Headquarters”
3. Use Default resource with 3 retries 30 seconds apart.
4. After Successful session unload the kernel and exit
5. After Failed session and all retries exhausted unload the kernel and exit
