For USB gateways, drivers need to be installed on the host computer. These drivers are
included with the Node Commander

software. Once the software is installed, the USB
gateway will be detected automatically whenever the gateway is plugged in.
1. Open the Node Commander
®
software.
2. Make all hardware connections (
see System Connections on page 11
). Power is
applied to the gateway through the USB connection. Verify the gateway status
indicator is illuminated.
3. Open Node Commander
®
.
4. When connected, the gateway should appear in the Controller window automatically
with a communication port assignment (
Figure 4 - USB Gateway Communication

it is not automatically discovered, verify the port is active.
