Chapter 4 Commissioning Step 2: Install the PL2303 driver. Obtain the driver package from Neoway FAE or download it from the Internet if you use the serial-to-USB cable Neoway provided. Step 3: Start the Neo_ComTool and set the parameters of the serial port and AT.
Step 2: Install the N27 USB drivers on your computer. If your computer runs a Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 OS, disable the signature enforcement. Decompress the N27 tool package that Neoway provides. In Device Manager, right-click one device and choose Update Driver Software from the menu.
