7.3.2 Setting up a Flexi Link project in the Setting and Monitoring Tool
If the required hardware is not available yet, you can set up the hardware configuration
for your Flexi Link project in the Setting and Monitoring Tool.
 Open the Setting and Monitoring Tool on your PC or laptop.
 In the startup dialog, click on Create new Flexi Link project or choose from the
Project menu the command New > Flexi Link system project. The Flexi Link
System overview screen opens.
 Choose whether your Flexi Link system will be wired using only EFI1 or both EFI
connections. EFI1 allows to exchange up to 26 bits per station, using both EFI1 and
EFI2 each station can share up to 52 bits with the other stations.
You can change this setting any time later.
 Now add the first station to your project. Click one of the buttons for adding a new
station on the left side of the screen. This will open the view for this individual
station. Alternatively you can also switch to the view for an individual station using
the Station buttons in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
 In the view for the individual station, add the desired hardware for this station as
described in Section 5.5.1 and in Section 5.5.3.
 When the hardware configuration for the selected station is complete, use the Flexi
Link system overview button in the toolbar to switch back to the Flexi Link system
view.
 Then add the other required station(s) to your Flexi Link project as described above.
 When the hardware configuration of your Flexi Link system is complete, you can
configure your project as described in the following section.
