[ 3 ] Multilink protocol (BHT-5000 only)
In addition to the BHT-protocol, the BHT-5000 may support the multilink protocol which is used
for file transmission between the host computer and more than one BHT-5000 (placed on the
multilinked CU-5003s), provided that Multilink Protocol System (MLTU3.EX3) is downloaded to
the BHT-5000 beforehand.
To transfer files by using the multilink protocol, you need Multilink Transfer Utility (MLTU3.EXE)
to be run in the host computer and the CU-5003(s). For details, contact your nearest dealer.
If you download the Multilink Protocol System to the BHT-5000 and select the multilink protocol
by using the
OUT statement (Port No. &h6060) or in System Mode, then you can upload or
download files according to the multilink protocol with the
XFILE statement.
The multilink protocol is used also in System Mode.
