To configure VBOX Omega, the unit needs to be connected to a power source and a computer.
Configuration is performed using VBOX Setup Software, which can be downloaded here. Using the supplied loom, connect an RLCAB001 cable to the SERIAL lead and connect the serial plug to the computer's serial port – this can be done via a serial > USB converter if required.
Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 or newer is required (must be compatible with .Net Framework 4.7.1)
