3. Attach DB-25, DB-9, RJ-45, J1939 and/or OBD-II Connectors to Vehicle Network:
Attach the connectors from the FIRE 2 Ethernet Cable Adapter and your OBD cable (if
using) to their mating halves on your network, then secure them in place.
As soon as you connect the device supplying power to the cable attached to the neoVI FIRE 2,
the device should boot up. You will recognize this by green LEDs beginning to flash in a quick
and regular pattern on both the side of the device next to the HD-26 connection, and in the
upper left corner of the top membrane interface. If the LEDs do not start flashing, please see
Chapter 8 for assistance.
µDB-9 to DB-9 Cable Connection to FIRE 2
We'll now continue with the µDB-9 connector on the other side of the FIRE 2, using the
special µDB-9 to DB-9 cable that comes with the device. This connection carries LIN and
miscellaneous I/O channels for networks that require them; if they are not relevant to you, the
next two steps can be skipped.
4. Attach µDB-9 Connector FIRE 2: Attach the µDB-9 end of the cable to the female
µDB-9 connector on the FIRE 2 and secure it in place (Figure 54).
5. Attach DB-9 Connector to Vehicle Network: Attach the standard DB-9 end of the
cable to the appropriate mating connector in your vehicle network.
The neoVI FIRE 2 should now be fully connected to your vehicle or bench network.
