# Configuration

After downloading and installing the companion, if you open it, you will see it is already active and listening for connection to Smart Logger. You don't have to configure anything there, all settings are within Smart Logger itself!

When the companion is open and connected to SL, you will see an Icon pop up in your page. If a radio isn't connected it will be red.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You can open the settings menu quickly by clicking on the red radio icon.
{% endhint %}

In the settings menu you just have to input your radio model, choose a COM port (the one where you have connected the USB for communication with your radio) and the baudRate.\
After changing the settings, press save & restart to restart the companion with the new settings.\

After everything is set up and the radio is connected, you will see that the Icon turns blue, you can now control your rig from Smart Logger!

If you click on the blue Icon a popup will appear that lets you manually change the frequency and mode, but, if you activate "Sync", Smart Logger will keep frequency and mode synched between your radio and your log automatically!\ <br>

{% hint style="success" %}
As long as the companion remains open, you can control your radio from Smart Logger.
{% endhint %}
