The rotator controller-controller software supports UDP messages in order that the connected rotator can be controlled with N1MM+. You don't need any wires other than what connects the logging computer to the rotator controller-controller.
Check the N1MM Broadcasts box, and make sure you have a unique hostname set.
On the N1MM+ configurator dialog, in the Antennas tab, create an entry for an antenna, specify the bands of that antenna, and make sure to use the hostname specified above as the "Rotor Description." The name must match exactly.
Do not check the "Start N1MM Rotor Program" -- you don't need it, you won't be using it.
Check one or both of the "Display Rotors" options. The "...Responding from Network" option will show all rotors that are reachable on the network; this will show you where the rotor(s) are pointed whether your station is using them or not.
You should see a small window that shows the bearing of each configured rotor. You will see the rotor name/host name in the title bar of that window.
You can "move" the rotor by typing a bearing into the N1MM logger callsign box and pressing Alt-J. This should turn the rotor to the new bearing.
N1MM has other tricks to turn a configured rotor; those are beyond the scope of this document.
