Configuring Cat Electronic Technician to use the Communication Adapter 3
\nFor Cat Electronic Technician to work with the Communication Adapter 3, the settings must be changed to select the Communication Adapter 3 as the Communication Interface Device:
\nStep 1 Start Cat Electronic Technician.
\nStep 2 Click the Stop Connect button when it appears.
\nStep 3 Select the utility menu.
\nStep 4 Choose \u201cPreferences > Modify…\u201d.
\nStep 5 Select the Communications tab.
