can be found separately within the packaging.

so you can use any port. If you are not using the Baldor serial cable CBL001-501, your cable
must be wired in accordance with Figure 12 in section 4.5.3.
To use USB, connect a USB cable between a PC USB port and the NextMove ES USB
connector. Your PC must be using Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
