Did you install the com port driver? When you plug the USB cable in it probably
asks you for driver?

You can download driver here:

I agree that this was too hard to find, need to update the manual definitely.

Sorry.

Did you look at the settings for that com port driver? It lets you specify
com port that is ported from USB.

Its under control panel -> System - > Hardware -> Device Manager

At this point you should be able to identify it in the tree and right click
on it to bring up settings, see what port it uses.

USB cable must be plugged in to pc and rds for this to work.

Hey, you're not an idiot, we are for not adding it to the manual :)

Anyway, glad it works now. Which port was it, by the way?
