The DGC-2020ES plugin can be activated automatically or manually. Automatic activation is achieved by
using a USB cable to establish communication between the DGC-2020ES and BESTCOMSPlus. Manual
activation is initiated by contacting Basler Electric for an activation key and entering the key into
BESTCOMSPlus. Manual activation is useful if you want to create a settings file prior to receiving your
DGC-2020ES. Refer to Manual Activation of DGC-2020ES Plugin.
Connect a USB Cable
The USB driver was copied to your PC during BESTCOMSPlus installation and is installed automatically
after powering the DGC-2020ES. USB driver installation progress is shown in the Windows taskbar area.
Windows will notify you when installation is complete.
Connect a USB cable between the PC and your DGC-2020ES. Apply operating power to the DGC-
2020ES. Wait until the boot sequence is complete.
