you will need to set up and configure your module.

and follow the instructions on your screen to install the software on your PC. The
information represented by the "*" character in the file name is the PCB version
number and, therefore, subject to change as new versions of PCB are released.
Note: Many of the configuration and maintenance procedures use files and other
utilities on the CD-ROM. You may wish to copy the files from the Utilities folder
on the CD-ROM to a convenient location on your hard drive.
