## What you need
You will need two cables:
1. **Data Cable:**
USB to RS-232 DB9 Male Serial Cable. (Make sure the chord has a male serial with 9 pins)
- [Amazon link](http://a.co/9KWXIMP)
2. **Power Cable:**
USB 2.0 Cable - A-Male to B-Male. (Your machine may come with this. Mine did not. Ideally, the USB cable could carry data too but modern drivers are not available.)
- [Amazon link](http://a.co/fQDbqWD)
Note: Both of those amazon links are for 6 foot cables. Make sure you get a cord long enough for your setup.
## Setup
Step 1.
Connect serial-to-USB cable to your Stentura machine and to your computer.
Step 2.
Connect USB A-to-B cable to your Stentura machine and your computer.

Step 4.
Open Plover. Click the configure button. A new configuration window will open. Click the tab for machine. Select Stentura from the drop down menu. Go back to the window where you clicked the configure button. Click the radio button "enable" to enable output. Click the reload button (arrows going in a circle) until the dot turns green and it says "Stentura: Connected"
