You can create a trial AuthKey by yourself, purchase a "real" AuthKey, or use an AuthKey offered by Tibbo on the Internet.
Convert a normal DS202 to create a trial AuthKey
This method can be used for testing the LinkServer software. To get a trial AuthKey, simply download the appropriate AuthKey firmware file from Tibbo website and upgrade your DS202 with it. It will then allow you to use the LinkServer with up to 5 "simultaneously" connected Device Servers or 1 Device Server and 2 Data Terminals.
Notice that this upgrade cannot be performed through the network, in this specific case you have to upgrade the DS202 through its serial port (using COM access mode).
Obtain a dedicated AuthKey by purchasing an AggreGate license
This is done by contacting the Tibbo Sales Team and purchasing an AggreGate license for a specific amount of "simultaneously" connected Device Servers or Data Terminals. You would then receive a dedicated AuthKey device (which looks like the DS202 in a magenta housing).
Use a trial AuthKey offered by Tibbo on the Internet
For a limited time, Tibbo may offer to use its own AuthKey connected to a real static IP-address on the Internet. The LinkServer can be setup to connect to this trial AuthKey. Check with Tibbo for details and availability of AuthKey on the Internet.

Note that both the AuthKey and the LinkServer must be properly setup to be able to work with each other. For more information see the following topics: |
