About this task
Communication adapters are configurable, and can be used either as a pair for remote
teleoperation over a distance, or as a Single Adapter in Single Adapter mode. In Single
Adapter mode the operator controls the robot with a single communication adapter. To
use the Communication Adapter in Single Adapter mode, it is necessary to configure it as
a Single Adapter. This is done using the Command Line Interface Shell (CLI).

You can now connect the robot and the Xbox gamepad to the Single Adapter and operate
the robot using the gamepad.
Pairing a new communication adapter for wired communication
This section describes how to pair a new communication adapter for wired
communication.
About this task
This procedure configures the two communication adapters to communicate with
each other over wired communications. In general, this requires configuration on each
of the communication adapters, remote and operator adapter. The complete pairing
procedure performs the configurations on each adapter to put the wired communication
configurations to the same default settings Kinova uses when configuring a pair of
adapters before sending to a customer.
