A UCM/ETHernet or UCM/USB is required for programming with Comfigurator. The UCM is required to program Comfort but is not required for normal operation, and can be removed after programming. However a UCM/ETH02 allows remote programming and access by iPad, iPhone, Android phone or tablet and is the recommended choice
The UCM used for programming by Comfigurator should have its ID set to 1. This is because UCM ID #1 can be removed from the system without causing a Communications Trouble alarm. UCMs from the factory are set to ID1 as default.
For instructions on how to set UCM ID, see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum4/3418.html
The UCM communications port must be selected
Go to Options > Settings as shown in the screenshot below. You must specify the connection method in order to connect Comfigurator to Comfort.
