Configuration (Basic) 

The easiest way to configure the COM-1503 is to use the 

ComBlock Control Center 

software supplied with 

the module on CD. In the 

ComBlock Control Center 

window detect the ComBlock module(s) by clicking the 

 

Detect

 button, next click to highlight the COM-1503 module to be configured, next click the 

 

Settings

 

button to display the 

Settings 

window shown below.
