9. Select the Communications Port and Test Communications
 Select Communications Port - DriveRight from the Setup Menu to select the
communications port used to connect to a DriveRight device.
 Select Communications Port - CarChip from the Setup Menu to select the
communications port used to connect to a CarChip device.
 Click Auto Detect in the Communications Port dialog box to test communication.
10. CarChip / DriveRight Considerations
 If both a CarChip device and DriveRight console are installed in the same vehicle, you
will need to create duplicate entries in the DriveRight FMS databases for the vehicle and
driver. Otherwise you will see duplicate trip data in your DriveRight FMS reports.
 If you have multiple communications ports, you can connect a CarChip to one
communications port and DriveRight to another. If you do not have multiple
communications ports we recommend you buy a serial switch box to switch between the
two devices or a serial extension cord to make plugging and unplugging the download
cables more convenient.
