2. HARDWARE SETUP
The SOLO D has been developed to be pluggable to any
standard Windows computer. The SOLO D contains 
important modules which require cable conections, software
installation and configuration:
• SOLO D panel itself
• COMPOSS "The Compass"
• VF-G "Glass Cockpit"
2.1 CONNECTING TO PC
After placing the panel on the surface it will rest, you must
connect all the modules to the computer running the flight
simulation software. To do so, you have two options
• OPTION A: LAN network connection (recommended)
• OPTION B: Direct connection
OPTION A: LAN Network Connection (Recommended)
Connect the cables between the back of the panel, router and
PC exactly as indicated in the diagram below. This option
enables the SOLO D panel to have an internet connection,
which is required if you schedule a remote connection with
Virtual Fly technicians.
The power switch must be in "OFF" position before
starting.
You must connect the power cable (B) last.
An extra Ethernet cable (not included) is required
to connect the internet router and PC.
