Answer

There are two ways to connect a USB port of a personal computer and a CPU:
1) Connect to the USB port of the CPU (directly connected to the USB cable).
2) Connect to the loader (RS422) port of the CPU (use a USB-RS-422 converter (NP4H-CVU) and
     a loader cable (NW0H-CA3) in combination).

The necessary USB driver and communication settings are different between 1) and 2).
・USB driver
    For 1), install “USB driver For MICREX-SX.”
    For 2), install “Driver of Fuji UsbToSerial Converter.”
・Communication setting
    For 1), select “USB.”
    For 2), select “COM.” (Check the COM No. using Device Manager.)
 
* After installing the USB driver, you may need to restart your computer. If communication fails even after installing the USB driver and configuring the communication settings, restart your computer.
