Setup Ocean over USB on Windows |
navigation |
Windows is slightly different beast to Linux and OSX in that there is less emphasis on command line interfaces for connecting and communicating with your Ocean.
We recommend ZOC for connecting to an Ocean over USB. Download ZOC here
We will assume you are using ZOC for the rest of this guide.
However, PuTTY
is another available option. PuTTY can be downloaded from this site.
{% include setup/power.md %}
When you launch the ZOC application, the Quick Connection wizard will pop open.

In this window, in the “Connect to:” field, type "serial".
Next, change “Connection type” in the dropdown menu to “Serial/Direct” and click on the “Configuration” button next to it.

More options should appear. Find the “Scan...” button, and click it. The following dialog should pop up.

Take a note of the list of available entries in "Ports" table, but then press "Cancel" to go back to the Configure Serial/Direct Options window.
Next, Plug in the Ocean into your computer's USB port.
Next, press “Scan...” again. The same dialog as before should pop up.

Select the new COM option that shows up, and press "OK".
Back on the Configure Serial/Direct Options window, select 115200 for baudrate, and turn RTS and DTR dropdown menus to both off, like this:
![Final config settings]({{ site.baseurl }}/assets/images/FinalConfigSetting.PNG)
Press OK to close the window, and then press “Connect" on the Quick Connection window. You should now see the following:
![Final config settings]({{ site.baseurl }}/assets/images/Connected.PNG)
Type console
into the ZOC console, and you will see the following:
![Final config settings]({{ site.baseurl }}/assets/images/ConsoleConnected.PNG)
Two things will happen after this. The power button light will change color, from white to blue. Also, You should see standard linux login prompt.
$ console

Note that every Ocean device has a unique name assigned to it. FineRock is the name of the test device we used to create this document. Your device will have a different name.
