      Login Name: <tbd>
      Password: <tbd>

      • When CALink is starting, it will attempt to connect to SQL Server Login
        • This timeout is 30 seconds
        • If CALink cannot connect, the screen will not appear for that time
        • When it either connects or times out, the connection status on the CALink screen will show whether it could connect or not
        • Any error message on connecting will be logged in the CALink.txt log file in the BEpoz Shared Data directory.
