The Light-O-Rama Hardware Utility is used to manage the hardware that you use to control your lights.  This includes several types of controllers as well as other devices such as Light-O-Rama MP3 Directors and Light-O-Rama wireless devices.

 

Each of these types has a different tab in the Hardware Utility.  When you start the Hardware Utility, the tab for Light-O-Rama controllers is displayed; to access one of the others, simply click its tab.
