  3. Connect the Motus to a device by the following:

    1. Connect the USB to RS232 / RS422 adaptor cable to the Primary port and your computer. The factory default setting is RS232. Check that the mode switch is at the correct setting.

    2. Java 11 is required to run Motus Manager. Adoptium JRE 11 is the recommended Java installer to be used on all platforms. Install the latest version of Java 11 from Adoptium, selecting the correct operating system and architecture for your computer.
