For the USB Module to accept serial commands, a link must be fitted across terminals A1-N2 on MCD
200 starters.
Input links are required across terminals 17 and 25 to 18 if the MCD 500 soft starter is being operated
in Remote mode. In Local mode, links are not required.

MCD 500 parameter 3-2 selects whether the soft starter will accept Start and Stop
commands from the Serial Network Master while in Remote Mode. See the soft starter
user manual for parameter details.
