5.2 Interface
To establish a connection with the DSL, the serial interface (to which the RS 485 converter is connected)
must be set up in the selection field (Fig. 5).

The Auto-Scan function can be used in following cases:
1. If the RS485-Converter was connected after the programm start and the serial interface does not appear
in the overview
2. If the serial interface is not known
This transmits an identification to every serial interface (COM1 to 8) and waits for a response telegram from
the attached DSL.
Because of insufficient implementation of virtual serial interface driver (e.g. bluetooth) problems can
appear during the Auto-Scan. In that case please choose the serial interface manually.
If other devices are connected to the individual serial interfaces, then it cannot be ruled out that
they may interpret the transmitted ID as a message directed to them.
If a serial interface is discovered that has a DSL attached, then this will be indicated (Fig. 6).
