5. In the subsequent window, click Screen Controller. You can now see a list of all connected serial adapters. If you only have one adapter for the connected monitor, there’s only one list entry.

6. To select the device, click on it.
   

   

7. In the subsequent window, click Back. This takes you back to the Configure your system window.
   

   

8. To finish the configuration, click Continue or select the spacebar.
