->1.3) Open WinSCP and login to your roboRIO with the following settings:+====2. Installing DMC60C Library files ==== 
 +>2.1) Run **Install DMC60C libraries and config utility.bat**. This is the install script for the DMC60C API. It will also install the DMC60C Config Utility server onto the roboRIO. 
 +> 
 +>{{:dmc-60c:installer.jpg?direct&800|}} 
 +> 
 +>2.2) Selecting 1 or 2 will copy the DMC60C config server to the roboRIO. The username and password can be left blank unless it was changed on the roboRIO. It will also install the DMC60C Library files to the WPILib directory. Selecting 3 will only copy the API files to the WPILIB directory. 
 +> 
 +>2.3)The DMC60C config server is hosted at "**roboRIO-[team number]-FRC.local:8000**". The roboRIO IP address can also be used "**[roboRIO IP address]:8000**" to reach the server. This server is automatically started after installation.

-| Host Name      | The IP address of the roboRIO  | +>3.1) Open an internet browser and type "roborio-[teamnumber]-frc.local:8000", replacing [teamnumber] with your team number. The roboRIO's IP address will also work and may respond faster. For example: 192.168.1.104:8000 
-| Port           | 22                             | +> 
-| User name      | admin                          | +>3.2) If the DMC60C configuration utility was successfully set up, it will show up in the browser. Make sure to change the device ID from 0 to any number between 1 and 65 before continuing. You may also configure any other options here as well.
