If you have followed the below tutorial carefully but still failed to make the connection between BTS4000 and your computer. Then this BTS4000 connection trouble-shooting might help you.

Step 1: Hardware installation

1. To the usual device, connect Computer(server), Middle machine and testers by using cable in order(Figure 1). Firstly, connect Computer(server) and Middle machine via TCP/IP port. Secondly, connect Testers and Middle machine via RS-485 port. Lastly, connect all Testers one by one via RS-485 port if you have more than one tester. To a high power device, you only need to connect the tester and Computer(server) via TCP/IP port because the middle machine is combined with the tester(Figure 2).
