Once the servo is powered and properly connected to the computer, the COM port should appear in the COM port list. Ensure the board is recognized by the computer and if not, install the proper drivers. If you have multiple communication ports active, go to Windows -> Device Manager to determine which is appropriate for the USB to serial adapter you are using. Click CONNECT to connect to the servo. The software automatically scans all standard baud rates using ID254 (broadcast ID) and waits for a reply from the servo connected. Should an incorrect COM port be selected, the software will keep trying to connect. You must disconnect, select the correct COM port and reconnect. If you are not sure which COM port to select, in Windows, go to Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) and select the port associated with the USB to serial device.

36 -The LSS Config software serves as the main software used to update the servo's onboard firmware / programming. An internet connection is needed in order for the software to check if an online update is available. The servo's current firmware version is displayed to the left of the FIRMWARE button. Pressing the button will open a popup window which allows you to select the firmware version to upload to the servo. When checked, the Exp. button will allow experimental versions of the firmware to be displayed in the list. It also allows to load directly from a local file. Once the OK button is pressed, a progress bar will be displayed in the command line. Do not disconnect the servo during a firmware update. If the process does get interrupted, you can still upload firmware to the LSS by going into bootloader mode by holding the button at power up.

Clicking **Yes** will poll your servo to obtain all of its available settings and which will be restored after a successful firmware update is completed.
