On the desktop an icon will appear by which the conguraon soware can be started. Don’t do this yet.
First connect to the DR5000 with the supplied USB cable.
Windows will “detect” the new hardware and install the drivers. Wait unl this process is completed and you get a message from Windows that the hardware is
properly installed.
Now connect the DR5000 to your PC with the USB cable.
Windows will now assign and reserve 3 COM ports.
(the numbering of the COM ports depends on your personal PC conguraon)
In the le hand image COM7 - COM9 are used.
COM7 is the communicaon port used for LocoNet.
COM8 is the communicaon port used for XpressNet.
COM9 is the communicaon port used to connect the conguraon soware with the
DR5000 hardware. The conguraon soware will automacally detect the right COM
port.
