Using USB RS232 adapters and USB Ethernet adapters
When using the RS232/PPI Multi-Master cable, zero modem cable or Ethernet connections, you can only use the "real" interfaces for project transfer.
"Real" interfaces are interfaces without implementation via USB. This means that you cannot use any "USB to serial" or "USB to Ethernet" adapters.
