Getting Started

The following sections provide the information needed to begin using the MDI 2 including
installing the MDI Manager software, updating the firmware on the device, configuring
connection methods, and communicating with the vehicle.

Installing the MDI Manager Software

The MDI Manager software is installed on the PC and provides access to the MDI 2s located on
your network. The MDI Manager must be installed on the PC in order to configure, update and
run diagnostic applications targeted for the PC. Initially you use the MDI Manager software to
set up the configuration of each MDI 2. The MDI Manager is also used to update the firmware
on the MDI 2. Use the following procedure to install the MDI Manager software on your PC.
Visit the TIS2Web/GlobalTIS website to determine if a newer version of MDI Manager software
is available for your device. If the software on the website is newer than your PC, download the
software to your computer.
If you downloaded the software from the website, double-click the downloaded file and follow
the instructions on the screen. The InstallShield Wizard starts and guides you through the
software installation.
The InstallShield wizard displays a panel indicating that the program is ready to be installed.
Click Install to proceed with the installation. A progress bar shows the status of the installation.
[You can click Cancel if you want to halt the installation process. You are prompted to respond if
you are sure you wish to cancel the installation.]
