Using x25tool

When you start x25tool, the main window appears. The top of the window provides menu options for configuring X.25. Directly underneath the menu is a list of currently configured links.

The lower half of the window displays output messages. For example, when you start or stop a link, information is displayed in the output window.

• OK updates the changes you have made and dismisses the window.
