Connecting to the Cortex locally using DavLink 6 via the USB port

To connect to the Cortex through the local USB port, DavLink 6 is required. For the
USB connection,

Davicom’s

USB driver is also required. It is included on the

installation CD or it can also be found on the

Documents & Downloads

page in

Software & Firmware

. Once you have installed the USB driver, please connect your

computer to the

Cortex’s

front-panel USB port and then start DavLink. Once started,

DavLink will display its main screen. Go to the upper left of this screen to see:

Select Setup-Communications and you will see the following screen, go to the Local
Communications section, and select the Communication Port that corresponds to
the USB port where you have connected the Cortex (COM14 in this example).
