2.1.3 USB Interface
The USB communication port is connected using a standard USB cable with a type B connection to the relay and
type A to the PC.
The PC will require a suitable USB driver to be installed, this will be carried out automatically when the Reydisp
software is installed. When the Reydisp software is running with the USB cable connected to a device an
additional connection is shown. Connections to these devices are not shown when they are not connected.
The USB communication interface on the relay is labelled Com 2 and its associated settings are located in the
Data communications menu. When connecting to Reydisp using this connection the default settings can be used
without the need to first change any settings, otherwise the Com 2 port must be set to IEC60870-5-103 (the relay
address and baud rate do not need to be set).
