To connect to the drive, you need to:

In the Enter DH+ Station field, enter the station number.

Valid station numbers are octal values between 0 and 77. If you are using a

Communications Adapter Board, the station number is set on the
communications board.

Important: You can use the WHO button to determine the station number. The
WHO button is covered in further detail below.

Click OK.

After a short pause, either the DriveManager32 screen with the drive parameters
appears, or you are prompted to create a database.
