4. Left mouse click on ‘Device Manager’ (found in the left hand list).

is ON and the Sonar Processor is connected to the PC with a USB Cable.
6. After clicking on ‘Ports (Com & LPT), one or more items will be shown. Look for the item
that refers to your USB to Serial Adapter, it will be something like ‘Prolific USB to Serial

number changes and you will have to repeat these steps to reconfigure the COM settings.
