3 USING THE DSESERVICETOOL PC SOFTWARE

3.1 STARTING DSESERVICETOOL SOFTWARE
The loading process takes a few seconds:
When launching the DSEServicetool PC software for the first time, the PC firewall requires
permissions for the software to access the ethernet networks. Permissions are required for the
DSEServicetool to be able to scan the networks and connect to DSEControl devices. Select the type
of networks applicable:

3.2 PREPARING THE DEVICE FOR CONNECTION

First ensure the device is correctly connected and in Bootloader Mode. This is the state that enables
detection of the device by DSEServicetool Software and allows the transfer of files to the device.

3.2.1 BOOTLOADER MODE

NOTE: Ensure the DSEMxxx device is correctly connected and in the bootloader mode
during discovery. Devices not in bootloader mode are not discovered by the scan.

Upon loading, the DSEServicetool automatically performs a search and finds connected devices.
