COMMUNICATION
Remember, you do not have to have a unit connected to the PC to operate BESTCOMSPlus and
program settings. If you have an actual unit, you may connect a communication cable between the unit
and the appropriate communication port on the PC. If communication is already configured, skip to
Establishing Communication.
Connecting the DGC-2020 and PC
Connect a communication cable between the USB or Modem connector of the DGC-2020 and the
appropriate port of the PC. Refer to Section 6, Installation, for the required connections between the
DGC-2020 and PC.
Configuring Communication
Before communication between BESTCOMSPlus and the DGC-2020 is established, the PC
communication port connected to the DGC-2020 must be configured and selected in BESTCOMSPlus.
To configure the port, use the Settings Explorer to open the Communications tree branch. Open the tree
branch of the communication protocol you wish to configure. Make the appropriate settings. For more
