Cabled Online Mode; Mixed Operation; Minimum Technical Requirements And Restrictions On Use Of A Standard Pc - Mercedes-Benz XENTRY Kit 2 User Manual

4.1.3 Cabled online mode

In the event that you require an online connection to back-
end systems, but you want to establish the connection
between XENTRY Tab 2 and XENTRY Connect independent
of the workshop infrastructure, a new mode is now availab-
le. It requires using the WLAN workshop mode and thereby
an online connection of the XENTRY Tab 2. To setup the
cabled online mode, connect the XENTRY Tab 2 and XENTRY
Connect to each other using an Ethernet cable and click on
the XENTRY Connect tile in XENTRY Control. This automati-
cally configures thenew mode.

XENTRY Tab 2 via LAN, is not possible.
