Re: [mh] 2413S vs 2413U

Where do I find these options: "Link to Interface", Sync All Links, All
Link Scan?  When I launch MH in a CMD.exe window, it's all command line
based - there's no GUI.  If I go into the web interface and choose a
device, all it offers is to turn on, turn off, or dim (as appropriate).

If the USB to serial adapter shows up as a COM device, how do I know which
COMx to choose?

Thanks,
Bruce
