INTERLNK.EXE

Redirects requests for operations on one or more Interlnk client drives or
printer ports to one or more drives or printer ports on the Interlnk server.
This device driver must be loaded by a <DEVICE> or <DEVICEHIGH> command in
your CONFIG.SYS file.

You must install the INTERLNK.EXE device driver before you can use the
<INTERLNK> and <INTERSVR> commands.

Syntax

    DEVICE=[drive:][path]INTERLNK.EXE [/DRIVES:n] [/NOPRINTER]
    [/COM[:][n|address]] [/LPT[:][n|address]] [/AUTO] [/NOSCAN] [/LOW]
    [/BAUD:rate] [/V]

Parameters

[drive:][path]
    Specifies the location of the INTERLNK.EXE file.

Switches

/DRIVES:n
    Specifies the number of redirected drives. By default, the number is 3.
    If you specify 0 as a value for n, Interlnk redirects only printers.

/NOPRINTER
    Specifies that printers not be redirected when you install INTERLNK.EXE.
    By default, Interlnk redirects all available printer ports.

/COM[:][n|address]
    Specifies a serial port to use for data transfer. The n parameter
    specifies the number of the serial port. The address parameter specifies
    the address of the serial port. If you omit n or address, the Interlnk
    client searches all serial ports and uses the first port that it finds
    connected to the server. If you specify the /COM switch and omit the
    /LPT switch, the client searches only for serial ports. By default,
    Interlnk scans all serial and parallel ports.

/LPT[:][n|address]
    Specifies a parallel port to use for data transfer. The n parameter
    specifies the number of the parallel port. The address parameter
    specifies the address of the parallel port. If you omit n or address,
    the Interlnk client uses the first parallel port that it finds connected
    to the server. If you specify the /LPT switch and omit the /COM switch,
    the client searches only for parallel ports. By default, Interlnk scans
    all serial and parallel ports.

/AUTO
    Installs the INTERLNK.EXE device driver in memory only if the client can
    establish a connection with the server when the client starts up. By
    default, Interlnk is installed in memory even if the client cannot
    establish a connection with the server.

/NOSCAN
    Installs the INTERLNK.EXE device driver in memory, but prevents
    establishing a connection between client and server during setup. By
    default, the client tries to establish a connection with the server as
    soon as you install INTERLNK.EXE.

/LOW
    Loads the INTERLNK.EXE device driver into conventional memory, even if
    the upper memory area is available. By default, INTERLNK.EXE is loaded
    into the upper memory area if the upper memory area is available.

/BAUD:rate
    Sets a maximum baud rate for serial communication. Valid values for rate
    are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. The default is 115200.

/V
    Prevents conflicts with a computer's timer. Specify 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.
