-The Mission Control Center (MCC) software operates on a "​ground"​ computer and provides the necessary functionality for receiving and displaying data from the satellite - both telemetry of on-board systems ​operation ​and payload data. It is necessary to assemble a “ground” segment ​of the network from the standard blocks (included in the construction set) to work with the program. The segment is assembled similarly to the satellite'​s on-board network and connected directly to the user's computer with a USB cable.

The segment is assembled similarly to the satellite'​s on-board network and is connected directly to the user's computer with a USB cable.

-As you can see on the screenshot, in the upper left part of the MMC software interface there is a selection of available ports for connection. After connecting the USB cable and updating this window, the **USB-SERIAL CH340** port should appear in the drop-down list. Then you need to set the connection with the "​connect"​ button and the system will be ready for use. May be because of driver mismatch the port name will be different. In this case, it is easy to check if it is port you need by checking its presence ​in the list. After disconnecting the USB cable and pressing **Refresh** it should disappear from the list, after connecting to USB and pressing **Refresh** it will appear again. In that case, connect to this port, whatever it is called.+As you can see in the screenshot, in the upper left section ​of the MCC software interface there is a selection of available ports for connection.
