Note that once that the Wireless function is active it
is not possible to transfer any data through the RS232 cable / USB adapter.
To make the cable connection possible you need to unselect the Wireless option.

As soon as you have obtained the IP address of the GDA, you will need to configure
your computer in order to be able to establish the connection between both devices.
The objective is to configure the TCP/IP internet options for the wireless functions on
your computer. This configuration depends from operative system to operative
system but the steps are much alike. Just as a start guideline we will follow the
Windows Vista configurations.
These settings need only to be given once but you must have Administrator
Privileges.
