# Connecting BCP/BCV-RE Tools

The process for connecting BCV and BCP tools to the controller is slightly different than for other types of tools.

1. On the Home view, tap on the Settings Tab. Then, select BCP/BCV-RE Connections.

2. Add a new BCP/BCV-RE Connection configuration by clicking on the Plus (+) icon top right.

3. Turn on the configuration and provide a name in the name field.

4. Fill in the Server port and the Server host of the tool you want to connect in the respective fields. You can find both of these in the tool's Loader Software.

The tool should now be connected to the controller. Assign it to a Virtual Station in order to use it with a tightening program.
