It depends entirely on the particular receiver. Some use the USB or serial port to be used to control the receiver. In those cases, a protocol manual or a PC utility may be available. The ports are more often used for diagnostics and the communication protocols will normally be restricted to service engineers. In other cases, the ports can be used for data transfer or even software updates. More often than not, the ports are unused and were included as part of the hardware development but not used by the software. Take a look at the manufacturer's website and look up the support page. You may et lucky and find out how the port can be used. If not, then it is down to trial and error - a very time consuming activity that normally does not get any useful results.
