The device defines two serial ports (COM, each of them is connected to Spider230 mount and to RAL10PL receiver),
and for the proper control of the radio telescope, you need to define what are the numbers associated with them.
Click COM Mapping (7) in the left menu. Then select the "Add" button (8) to add ports, select the device (9) and
press OK (10). In case the device is not immediately visible, press the Rescan button.

The program then will map two COM ports and assign them
the name (COM1, COM2, etc ...). Select the "Apply" button
(12) to confirm the port mapping, then select OK to subse-
quent messages that will arise. The RadioUniverse software
will work with these two ports and then write down their
numbers.
Now the COM ports are enabled and ready for use, you can
close the program.
!
CAUTION: Whenever the ethernet cable is disconnected (or at each restart of the computer), you must repeat the
procedure ONLY in paragraphs 6 and 7, start the software Nport Administrator installed on your system to ena-
ble the connection to the device and the opening of COM ports. It is not necessary to re-map the COM ports, will
remain the same until the program is uninstalled.
Now we can start installing the software control and data capture of the Spider230 radio telescope: RadioUniverse.
