+
*Run the '''Flex -> New Aura Config File Wizard''' in the Aura Config Tool and fill it out as you normally would.
 +
**Typically you would choose '''No Throttle''' in Throttle Type and use a Jeti Receiver Port.
 +
**Choose '''Jeti''' for Transmitter Type
 +
**Choose '''Jeti EX Bus''' for Reciever Type
 +
**Choose '''Port A''' for Aura Port for Aura Pro, Choose '''Port B''' for Aura.
 +
*Finish the Wizard.
 +
*'''File -> Save''' and put the file in a know folder on your PC
 +
*'''Connect''' and '''Write All to Aura''' to load your initial settings on the Aura
