Different Ways to Communicate With the JANUS 2050

There are a number of ways for the JANUS 2050 to communicate with other
devices:
IRL Desktop You can use the IRL Desktop to transfer IRL programs and data
files between the JANUS 2050 and the host computer using menus. IRL
Desktop is discussed in more detail in Chapter 7, "Working With IRL."
Interlnk/Intersvr You can use the DOS utilities Interlnk/Intersvr to access the
drives in the host computer as if they existed in the JANUS 2050 and vice
versa. Use the /b switch on the JANUS 2050 command line with
Interlnk/Intersvr to make optimum use of the monochromatic display.
Interlnk/Intersvr are discussed in more detail later in this chapter.
Communications Manager You can use the Communications Manager utility to
transmit and receive data files, and request port and protocol status.
Communications Manager is discussed in more detail later in this chapter.

Communicating Using the Interlnk/Intersvr Utilities

You can easily transfer files between the JANUS 2050 and a host computer by
using the JANUS 2050 Interlnk program. Through Interlnk, the host computer
can run programs located on the JANUS 2050, and the JANUS 2050 can access
information from the host computer without having to copy files.
For example, you can create a QBasic program on the computer. Once you
develop the program, you can run it on the JANUS 2050 by having the JANUS
2050 call up the computer and access its drives.
The device that you enter commands from is called the client. The device
connected to the client is the server. You use the client to control both it and the
server. The server's drives and printers look as if they are on the client. The
server screen displays the status of the connection. The JANUS 2050 will most
likely be used as a server when creating programs, and as a client when
uploading data files and running programs.
Because Interlnk does not work with redirected drives when the JANUS 2050 is
the server, the host computer (client) will not be able to access the JANUS 2050
PC card drive when it has a flash memory card installed.
