To communicate with an SDL3 an ethernet connection is your only option you will not require a UTC. Most laptops have auto-crossover ethernet ports so a straight or crossover network cable should work.

1. Install ADL3/SDL3 Dash Manager on your PC.
2. Connect your dash to the PC via the Ethernet cable and turn on the ADL3/SDL3 power.
3. Open ADL3/SDL3 Dash Manager.

• On the Tools menu click Connection Settings and then click Add
• Click OK to choose IP (Ethernet). This is the only available connection type.
• Click Search*
• In the list with discovered devices, click the required Dash Logger and click Select
• Click OK to close the Connection Settings window
