Connecting the Lantern to the Computer
• Plug the Bulgin connector end of the programming cable into the lantern PC
Programming Port, and either the serial port end of the cable into your computer serial/
communication port or use the serial port to USB connector if working to a laptop.
3. Establish the Programmer-to-Lantern Computer Connection (COM Port)
Now that the lantern is connected to the computer and the Sealite PC Configuration
software has been run, the user must create
the programmer-to-lantern connection.
The COM Port is the hardware port which the computer accesses when communicating
with the lantern.
• Click the “COM Setup” at the top left
of the PC Configuration Tool to open the
“Serial Port” dialogue box
• In the “Serial Port” dialogue box select
the appropriate COM Port from the
drop down field for “Port Name”
• Check the “Open Port” check box to open
the port
• Click the “OK” button to initiate the
connection
The Sealite PC Configuration Tool will then
attempt to connect/interrogate the lantern.
