two different power sources— the vehicle DLC connec-
tor and the USB connector.

8.5 VCI Manager Software on the PC Un-
able to Communicate with the VCI
VCI Manager software must be installed on the PC, and
the VCI must be powered up before it will communicate
using USB. The VCI must also be configured for wireless
communication before it will communicate with your
wireless network. The VCI connects first using USB, if
available; if USB is not available, the VCI connects using
wireless.
Recommendations:
R
Check that the cables are securely attached to the
VCI, the VCI has completed its power up sequence,
the connector pins are clean, and the VCI Manager
software is running.
R
If connecting using USB, check that the VCI USB
connection is detected by Windows:
$
Connect the VCI to the PC USB port, then power
up the VCI.
$
From the Windows Control Panel, open the Net-
work and Dial-up Connections window.
$
Check for device name "ETAS USB Remote NDIS
Network Device". If not running, then either the
USB driver has not been loaded on the PC or the
VCI is not powered and connected to the USB.
Check all USB ports on the PC and verify that the
VCI is powered on.
R
If connecting using wireless Ethernet, make sure
that wireless communication is enabled and the IP
configuration is properly set using the VCI Manager
software:
$
Check that the USB cable is not plugged in. USB
connection takes precedence over wireless.
$
Check that the wireless card is properly seated in
the VCI.
$
Contact your IT department and check that your
PC is detecting the wireless access point, and
the correct security settings have been config-
ured for the VCI.
R
Contact your IT department for the correct VCI set-
tings.
R
If the VCI Manager is still not able to communicate
with the VCI, perform the Recovery Procedure.
