Notes: Position of the Interlnk command in the CONFIG.SYS file The position of the
device command that loads INTERLNK.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS can affect
pre-existing drive assignments.
For example, suppose your computer includes a floppy disk drive (A), two
hard disk drives (C and D), and two RAM drives (E and F). If you load the
INTERLNK.EXE device driver before creating the RAM drives and you
choose to redirect three drives, Interlnk assigns letters E, F, and G to the
redirected drives, and letters H and I to the RAM drives. To prevent this
situation from happening, load INTERLNK.EXE last in your CONFIG.SYS
file.
Calculating the number of drives to redirect
command to the host computer's CONFIG.SYS, you should set the /drives
option to at least seven drives. The reader contains five default drives (C, D,
E, F, G), and Interlnk assumes two more (A and B). If you specify fewer than
seven drives, Interlnk will not redirect all the reader's drives. You need more
than seven drives if the reader contains more than one physical RAM drive.
Saving memory The Interlnk device driver loads all of its code into memory.
You can save memory by specifying the /noprinter or /com switch. If you
specify the /noprinter switch, the Interlnk program does not load code that
redirects printers. If you specify the /com switch, the program does not load
code that supports parallel ports. Intermec recommends using the /noprinter
and /com switches when INTERLNK.EXE is loaded on the reader.
Using a serial mouse with Microsoft Windows
with Microsoft Windows, specify the /com switch to designate a COM port
other than the one the mouse is using.
DOS version Some features of DOS may not be available to the client
computer if you are running a different DOS version on your Interlnk server.
For example, if you have large partitions on the server and are running DOS
3.0 on the client, the partitions are not available to the client because DOS 3.0
does not support them.
Running an application located on the server If you use Interlnk to run an
application located on the server, make sure the application is configured for
the computer you have designated as the client.

sets a maximum baud rate for serial communication. Type
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. The default is 115200.
prevents conflicts with a computer's timer. Include this
switch if you have a serial connection between computers
and one of them stops running when you use Interlnk to
access a drive or printer port.
