4.1 Cable configurations

The cable connecting PC and Red Box should consist of 3 wires, two data wires and GND. There are many solutions
which enables communication and consecutive firmware update. Some cable configurations are listed below.

4.1.1 Colibri power and data adapter (COL-AC-PC)

This cable set is a part of delivery of every Colibri unit and could be simple borrowed from some Colibri owner. The set
can be also ordered at any time by LX Navigation. This is a completely plug and play solution which makes possible to
arrange update without glider power, let say at your home. The set has an AC/DC converter and this also powers Red
Box during the firmware update.
