Super trivial—literally a few clicks.

Again, it is a three-step process. The first two steps are identical as described here (ICOM and Power Genius IC-V connection): https://dxing.com.au/index.php/2024/12/09/connecting-pgxl-amplifier-to-icom-transceiver/

The third step is done at the amp end: on the touchscreen display, go to Settings – CAT settings – SET. Then select ICOM, IC-V rate of 9600, save, and exit. Done! Your ICOM radio will appear in the yellow box, and the amplifier will follow the VFO frequency. OM Power 2000A+ is a fully automated, self-tuned unit with a band change time of less than a couple of seconds.

With 2W drive, it produces around 50W output, and with 7W, it laughs at 400W all day long.

No doubt, our Kiwi friends would have fun pushing it gently to 1500W with just a bit more drive.

Happy DXing.
