Use multiple Paylinks

[xagduran]

Hello:
How can we use several Paylinks at the same time?
As we do to call each one, we use C#.
Thank you
Best regards
Angel.

Hi,

Paylink was designed to be a single system, connected to a single unit. That said, there are a number of ways in which the basic system can be expanded.

I am assuming that you have run into some sort of limitation with a simple single Paylink system. If you could tell me what you're trying to expand then I can suggest various ways to achieve your objectives.

Regards

Dave

Hi,

Paylink was designed as a single unit per system. There is a way to use multiple Paylinks on a single PC, but it is a bit awkward. It is outlined in the system manual http://aardvark.eu.com/downloads/docume ... Manual.pdf on page 61.

You have to first update the USB chip in each Paylink to have a different "serial number" and then you run multiple copies of the Paylink driver program, with each copy connecting to a different Paylink unit, identified by this "serial number".

You can then quote this "serial number" as a parameter to OpenSpecificMHE which will connect your application to the corresponding Driver/Paylink.

It is possible to repeatedly call OpenSpecificMHE to switch between the two Paylinks from a sinlge Application.
