3.1.4 Installing Sequence
Installing the ES581.4 you have to work in this sequence:
1. USB driver installation (ES581.4 not connected on PC),
2. J2534 driver installation (For the first time installation it is not necessary
that the ES581.4 module should be unplugged from the PC. Once when
the module was detected by the PC, installation/un-installation cannot
proceed unless the device was disconnected.),
3. USB connection,
4. CAN connection.
A specific USB driver and an J2534 driver must be installed on the PC for oper-
ating the ES581.4 module.
Before connecting the ES581.4 to the USB port of your computer, the
driver install application must be run first.
