PC-Connection between PC and M208
On the lower part of the M208 there is the USBconnection which is called M208 link. You can find it underneath the cover. Via this connection you can download a new configuration of the M 208 from the PC.
Connect the M208 with the USB cable to your PC. The USB cable is part of the standard delivery package.
After connecting the M208 with the PC a new message will appear on the screen mentioning that a new device with the name Revox M208-USB Link has been found.
Install the USB drivers
The Revox USB driver is not on the Windows operating system. This is the reason why the PC asks you to insall the driver. Revox does not recommend to choose the windows option “search for drivers” but to indicate the following directory C:\ Programme\ Revox\ M208\ USB Driver. In this directory your PC will find the needed driver named
208usb.sys
Follow the Windows installation instructions and remove after the installation the USB cable from the M208. When reconnecting the M208 with the PC, your PC will recognize the M208 automatically.
Remark:
Each USB-Chip of the M208 Remote Control does have an individual code which will be saved by Windows. It is now possible that especially WIN98 tries to reinstall the driver, when you are connecting a second M 208 to the PC. Just ignore this message until Windows recognizes also this new M208.

Once the connection has been established or the installation of the USB driver has been completed the message changes to “Connected”:
