Distinguishing Several PLIN-USB

You can operate several PLIN-USB on a single computer at the
same time. To distinguish the interfaces in a software environment,
you need to assign a hardware ID to each interface that is perma-
nently saved in the interface. The hardware ID is independent of the
LIN communication.
Do the following to set the hardware ID in the PLIN-USB:
1. Make sure that the PLIN-USB is connected to the PC and is
initialized (status LED is lit green).
Meaning
There's a connection to a driver of the operating system.
The LIN interface is initialized with a valid bitrate. A
software application is connected to the LIN interface.
Data is transmitted via the connected LIN bus.
