Going on-line for the first time
Having physically connected all devices to the computer through a suitable RS485
converter, and installed the software successfully, we now need to check the
virtual COM port that the converter is using so we can match this with the COM

With the converter plugged in (the COM port won't show up if the converter
isn't connected!), use the shortcut of the Windows
the Pause/Break key to bring up the System properties window:
Press BOTH keys together! Alternatively you can get to the same place through
start
Settings
Make a note of this port number and then, open ICORE.

Press the "Hardware" tab and then "Device

including the COM ports. Expand the section

The COM port number it has been assigned is in
