Setting up the Connection PC - Device

Set up a Connection via a Serial Interface
After installation of the software, the »Connection PC/Notebook to the Device« has to be initially configured so that the
User is able to read device data or re-write them into the device by means of the PowerPort-E application.
Setting Up/Configuring the Connection
Connect your PC/notebook with the device via a null modem cable.
Start the PowerPort-E application.
Select the menu point »Device Connection« in the »Settings« menu.
Click on »Serial Connection«.
Select the serial interface (COM-Port) where the device shall be connected to.
Confirm the adjustments by clicking the »OK« button.
If the interface is chosen for the first time, a popup window will appear "The selected connection is currently
not installed. Should this connection be used for device communication? ". Confirm this by pressing the
"Yes" button.
To connect the device to the User's PC/notebook, a special null modem cable
is needed (no serial cable!- -please refer to the section »Null Modem Cable«).
If the PC/notebook does not have a serial interface, the User will need a special
USB-to-serial-adapter. If the USB-to-serial-adapter is correctly installed,
communication with the device can be established using the CD provided (see
the next section).
