4. The Utility Software
Before the first use of the device you must install the USB driver

The program “IB_Util.exe” is to be found on the equipment enclosed
utility CD. It makes the connection to the interface of the IB-COM
and puts the following functionality at your disposal:
a

which you can use for simple driving and switching tasks,
the
Settings
menu, with the data format, special options and device
Reset submenus,
the
Tools
menu, for easy programming of DCC decoders and
LocoNet modules.

The port with which the driver software “Uhlenbrock USB-LocoNet-
Interfaces” is installed is shown under “USB port” (see chapter 2).
Click on “Connect”, in order to make the connection to the IB-Com.
