You can use the COM1 or COM2 serial communication port on your
computer for the download operation. The software uses COM1 as the
default communication port.

If you connected the cable/converter to the COM1 port, you can skip this
section. If you connected the cable/converter to the COM2 port, then you
must use the Configure Port option to select COM2.

Select Configure Port from the Transfer menu. Highlight Configure Port,
then press [Enter] or just press [C].

A window opens displaying the communication port options; COM1 and
COM2. The default selection is highlighted.

To select COM2, highlight the option and press [Enter].

The following messages display indicating that the selection is saved to the
setup file KPD.STP in the program directory. The software checks the setup
file to determine which communication port to use during a download.

You return to the Transfer menu with COM2 displaying as the selected
communication port.
