Configuring the Adapter

With DriveExplorer software, you can edit parameters in both the
1203-SSS serial converter and the connected product. On
PowerFlex 70 and PowerFlex 700 drives (or other DPI products), you
can also edit parameters in any of the attached peripherals, such as the
20-COMM-S. DriveExplorer Lite is shipped with the 1203-SSS serial
converter. It is a free, limited-feature version of DriveExplorer.
