Starting the MCP:

We already have our V3 B737 MCP we unpacked and visually inspected, now we have to install
and configure. The hardware is mounted, the only thing we have to do is plug it into the
computer and the included power supply to power the backlight and module electronics.
In the back provides a connection to a cable with USB connector and a power input for a mono
jack plug 3.5 mm diameter.
The USB cable connector will connect either directly or through a USB HUB (preferably self-
powered) to a computer's USB port, the power received from the USB port itself is not enough.

Checking the module:

The V3 MCP version requires the use of SIOC 4.3 or higher software. SIOC 4.3 is available on
the product page of the MCP, in the "Downloads" and in the support area.
When the module is connected Monitor recognizes it and if you press the buttons and switches,
the program will identify the number of each button and switch to test well on and off the
indicators and displays.
