Description
The first time the Processor Unit is powered up after a ES80 software installation, it will
automatically do a search to find available serial ports.
• If the Processor Unit was provided by Kongsberg Maritime as a part of the ES80
delivery, you can only use the ports that were fitted by the manufacturer.
• If the Processor Unit was purchased locally, you may increase the number of serial
ports by adding a serial adapter.
If you have added new hardware, you must also allow the ES80 to use the new port(s).
