15.3 T-Link TCP/IP Communications)
The T-Link module can be used as a backup or primary communi-

downloading source. The T-link module uses a TCP\IP network
on a LAN\WAN to communicate to a receiver or DLS2002 soft
-
ware. The module is connected to the PC-Link header on the
PC4020A board.
NOTE: PC-LINK and T-Link cannot be used at the same time.
The following sections must be programmed for T-Link commu-
nications.
The T-Link uses the same telephone numbers as the Landline
communicator refer to Section 12.1 "Telephone numbers". Any
phone number that the T-Link uses must be programmed with
'CAAA', to program this, remove the dial tone search 'D' and enter
[*5] [*2] [*2] [*2] in the phone number area.
Special phone numbers that are reserved for the T-Link and can-
not be used by the land line are:
CAAA
CBBB

The T-Link option must also be enabled in the communicator tog-
gle options refer to Section 12.4 (T-link enabled)
If downloading is used with the T-Link you must program the sys-
tem as stated in Section 13 "Downloading".
The T-Link will not connect with DLS via User Call-up, DLS call
back or periodic DLS. The downloading connection must be
established from the computer without callback enabled.
