Invacare® LiNX
4 Overview LiNX Access tools
The LiNX system is programmed during manufacturing with
default settings. These settings can be modified with a
programming tool to suit the user.
The LiNX system can be programmed with one of two
programming and diagnostic tools:
•
LiNX Access iOS tool used with Apple's iPhone, iPad and
iPod touch with iOS 9.0 or later and
•
LiNX Access PC tool used with Windows-based PCs or
laptops with Windows 7 or later.
The programming and diagnostic tools communicate with a
LiNX system via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth capability of a
LiNX system is provided by a LiNX Access Key inserted into
the remote module's XLR socket.
If your PC does not have built-in Bluetooth, then a Bluetooth
adaptor plugged into a spare USB port can be used instead.
Both, the iOS and the PC programming tools, offer a Live
edit mode that allows certain parameters to be programmed,
and take effect, while the system is live (e.g. while driving).
For more information, refer to 6.3.4 Modifying a program,
page 53.
4.1 The LiNX Access Key
– The LiNX Access Key is recommended for indoor
use only, or outdoors in dry conditions.
– The LiNX Access Key must not be plugged
in when in radio frequency (RF) sensitive
environments.
– Always inspect the LiNX Access Key for damage
before using it.
– Ensure that the LiNX Access Key is fully inserted
into the XLR socket before use.
– Confirm that the connection is made to the
wheelchair that is to be programmed by
checking the LED on the LiNX Access Key.
– Take care while driving around during tuning of
the wheelchair not to damage the LiNX Access
Key by hitting a solid object. Always keep a
clear distance from any objects that could
damage the LiNX Access Key.
– The surface of the LiNX Access Key can get hot
if left in direct sunlight for long periods.
– Do not leave the LiNX Access Key connected to
the system when the wheelchair is powered
down or when the wheelchair is to be stored
for a long time, as the Access Key will continue
to draw from the batteries when the system is
off. If left in place, the expected storage life of
the system will not be met and the batteries
may be damaged.
The LiNX Access Key provides the Bluetooth connection for a
programming tool to communicate with a LiNX system.

The LiNX Access Key plugs directly into the remote module's
XLR port A. REM2xx displayed in picture, works for REM400
and REM500 the same way.
The LiNX Access Key has a blue status indicator to show
when it is:
•
powered up, but not connected (indicator flashes
slowly),
•
connecting (indicator flashes quickly) or
•
connected (indicator permanently on).
If the blue status indicator turns completely off while trying
to connect, or while connected, remove the LiNX Access Key
from the remote module, wait for 5 seconds and the reinsert
it into the remote module before trying to connect again.
Before the programming tools can be used for programming
and diagnostics, you need to pair the devices, which is the
process of connecting the devices via Bluetooth. The pairing
process differs depending on the programming tool that is
used.
4.1.1 Rename LiNX Access Key (only possible with LiNX
Access PC tool)
The LiNX Access Key is normally identified with the letters
LAK followed by a series of characters, for example:
LAK-L12147605. Although each name is unique, identifying
one key from another may become difficult when you have
more than one LiNX Access Key. As an option, you can
change the names of the keys to more familiar names.
1. Right-click on LiNX Access Key in Open a Connection
tab. You may have to close your connection if you are
already in a connection context.
2.
Select Set Friendly Name option from context menu.
3.
Enter new name into text box and click OK button.
After clicking OK button the wheelchair is power-cycled
and the friendly name is updated. A confirmation screen
is displayed, informing you that the name was changed
successfully.
