NOTE: It is not necessary to have an MLC 52 connected and powered up in order to start the configuration program if you start it in emulation mode.

2.On the Connection Window, select one of the two tabs:

From the Select a COM Port menu, select the PC communications port through which your MLC is connected to the computer.
