Software requirements: Java, release 7 or above. The package can be downloaded from the Java website. Appropriate installation information are given there.
Hardware requirements: A single RS-485, two wire, serial port. If this interface is not already available, a suitable adapter we suggest to use is the UPort 1130I from Moxa. This is an isolated USB-to-serial converter. Suitable drivers can be downloaded from the Moxa site. The converter must be set to work in RS-485 2W mode.
Program usage: Administrator privileges are required on the first run of the application. They are needed in order to install the necessary support files in the Windows system folders. - From the second execution, normal user privileges are sufficient.
