Default Hooked up TTS cable to wrong port

If it wasn't for bad luck. If the TTS cable is hooked up to the wrong receptor port. Will it hurt the TTS box? I don't want a maybe or probably. I need a direct yes or no please.

I'm working on 2010 wide glide. Software was installed correctly, At least it updated. I've never established communication with the bike. I read in one of the files that hooking the USB cable to the computer first, before hooking up the com port, sometimes works. I must have gotten bad one. At first I hooked the com port cable to the fitting under the side cover. Now I'm using the fitting under the seat. No luck no matter what I try.

Just to cover the basics: I accept the agreement, check my correct build and hit open, go to "file" and select save or restore stock program, select com port 3, command save ECM program. Turn ignition on, Then hit the "Get ECM Info" button and get " Unable to determine interface type.

Have never made it past that warning.

Just an idea you might have already tried.
Turn ignition and run on first.

Did you install the TTS drivers, I think it was an optional box in the setup that many here have missed (...well ... I did when I updated to a new netbook). You need the TTS supplied drivers to talk to the USB port I think.

Sometimes a pic is worth... well, ya know.

This is more for dressers than any other but same stuff. Shows you how to set up the TTS, save factory map and do a flash.

It's the driver..... I just put the disc back in and downloaded the driver for my XP machine. I thought it installed so I ran back out in the garage anxious to get this going. No luck. I guess I need lesson in installing the driver. Anything in particular I need to do?

All clear. I got to thinking, maybe I was using the correct comm port to begin with.....
Went out and tried the com port under the side cover again and it took. It was good to see it establish communication. After that it was straight forward. Took the bike for a ride and like everyone else, I noticed the bike runs much smoother, much more power. Now if I could just figure out how to set the idle down few hundred RPM.
